From Gold Rush Streets to Glacier Blues: Skagway, Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier
Skagway, Alaska, is a place where history, wilderness, and human resilience intersect in a powerful way. Walking its streets, I’m reminded of the Klondike Gold Rush and the courage it took for people to chase possibility at the edge of the known world. The surrounding mountains, glaciers, and shifting light create a sense of awe that makes me feel small, grounded, and deeply present. It sits at the end of the Inside Passage, a journey that feels like being gently carried through a living corridor of water, forest, and sky. Leaving Skagway, before reaching Juneau, we visited Endicott Arm and Dawes Glacier, one of the most breathtaking glacier experiences, defined by stillness, scale, and raw natural beauty. Cruising through the narrow fjord felt immersive and almost reverent, with sheer granite walls rising from emerald water, waterfalls streaming down their sides, and floating ice signalizing your approach to the glacier.

Exploring Juneau, Alaska
Welcome to Juneau, Alaska—the state capital and a place where wild beauty and rich history collide. I love Juneau for how effortlessly it delivers once-in-a-lifetime moments, from standing near the icy blue Mendenhall Glacier to spotting whales breaching just offshore. The city blends Gold Rush history, lush Tongass rainforest hikes, and sweeping views from the Mount Roberts Tramway with a surprisingly delicious food scene—hello king crab and classic salmon bakes. Even though Juneau is the capital of Alaska, you can’t drive there, which makes visiting feel extra special—access is only by boat or by air. For my first trip, my husband and I arrived by cruise, and it was the perfect introduction to this unforgettable, adventure-filled capital city.
What makes Juneau truly special to me is that it feels both adventurous and welcoming, a place where nature is always the main event and every visit feels unforgettable.
