Why Skagway ? Sitka ?

I’m truly more of a Skagway fan, than Sitka !

Love …

·         Trains

·         This shoot out looking town

·         Available transportation from the ship to the town, which is only @ 3 blocks away

·         Shopping

·         Old Timey looking cars

 

I find all of the above, better in Skagway.

 

What I like at Sitka ?

I love the

·         Russian Orthodox church in town

·         Eagle rapture center

·         Indian native dancers, when available

 I don't like that you have to tender; but you have to, because of the low tides !

 

Both have great history !

And both can be reached by “cruise ship” !  Holland America often goes to Sitka; the rest, Skagway.
