Episode 4: Skagway, AK and the Yukon

Road trippin'. Dog Sledding. Frozen Lakes.

The next stop on our Alaskan cruise was Skagway. Since our ship would be here for 12 hours, we knew exactly how we would spend our day - in the Yukon territory in Canada! We rented a car from a local company, Affordable Car Rental, and they were so awesome to work with! They bought us a car seat for Madison to use, packed us lunch in a cooler and left our car right on the dock.

The Klondike Highway is one of the most scenic drives. It was neat to see the beauty of the frozen lakes and snow covered mountains and plateaus. When we were here 6 years ago, there was no snow. There are also so few cars that drive this highway, that it’s so easy to just stop and go. We had a very eventful day and it was one of our favorite days for sure!
