Alaska Shore Excursions | Scenic Drives And Animals In Alaska | cruise to Alaska
Cruise to Alaska? No doubt you've read about all the wonderful helicopter tours or float plane adventures you can have on one of the many shore excursions during your cruise. You may also have noted the price of some of these excursions. And, while a helicopter tour is great fun, tacking on several high-priced adventures onto your moderately-priced cruise can quickly add up to one very expensive vacation.
Can you have fun shore excursions without over-taxing your travel budget? Absolutely, especially if you plan in advance. Also, be aware that you don't have to go on the shore excursions through your cruise ship. You can always venture out on your own and explore Alaska, sometimes getting to destinations on the city bus for much less than what you'd pay for transportation through your cruise ship. Remember to always compare the cruise ship's shore excursion prices with similar tours offered by independent tour companies. What cheap Alaska shore excursions are waiting for you? Here are several inexpensive shore excursions at some of the most popular Alaska ports of call Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan.
Alaska Shore Excursions Juneau:
Want a great adventure for under few bugs, Take the Mount Roberts Tramway, a 6-minute ride to the 1,800 foot level of Mount Roberts. The great thing about this excursion is that the tramway is located where the cruise ships dock, so you can just walk to the tramway at your leisure.
If you want to get out and see Alaska's beauty as well as take a hike, then the tramway is perfect for you, as there are trails on Mount Roberts for all levels of ability, from nature walks to strenuous climbs, including a trail that is handicap-accessible. Depending on the time you have, some people like to take the tram to the 1,800 foot level and hike down. There is also a restaurant on the mountain, as well as a nature center.
Skagway city in Alaska:
One inexpensive shore excursion in Skagway is a float tour, which combines sightseeing and rafting. Skagway Float Tours offers a tour lasting approximately two and half hours to 3 hours which includes a 10-mile drive along the coast to the Dyea Valley, with a 45-minute gentle float down the Taiya River.
The next one of the beautiful city Ketchikan, Alaska.
Ketchikan is a wonderful place to see totem poles, and many cruise lines offer shore excursions where you can tour the city of Ketchikan and then go view totem poles at the Saxman Native Village and Totem Bight State Historical Park.

Story Time with Aunt Phil, A bumpy ride in a Model-T Alaska, July 30, 2018
This episode of Alaska Story Time with Aunt Phil, which first aired on Anchorage CBS affiliate KTVA Channel 11 Daybreak on July 30, 2018, shares the story of Robert Sheldon's fascination with autos back in the day.
On August 2, 1913, an Alaska sourdough completed the first automobile trip from Fairbanks to Valdez. It took Robert E. Sheldon 59 hours of actual driving time over a wagon trail to reach the little town in Prince William Sound.
But that was not his first experience making history with automobiles in Alaska.
Bobby Sheldon built the first car in Alaska. He saw pictures of the new fangled machine in newspapers sent north from the states. He built a frame over four buggy wheels, put gears on a used marine engine and made a chain drive.
The two-passenger car traveled at a dizzying speed of 15 miles per hour. And back in 1905, when horse-drawn wagons and dog sleds were the popular modes of transportation, his invention caused quite a stir in Skagway.
After he became manager of the Fairbanks Northern Commercial power plant in 1908, his interest in autos continued. He eventually ordered a four-passenger Model T Ford convertible touring car. The Detroit price was $390, but by the time it traveled by rail to Seattle, steamship to St. Michael and riverboat up the Yukon, Tanana and Chena rivers to Fairbanks, it cost Sheldon $1,297 – almost $34,000 in today’s dollars.
But he recouped that cost and more within two weeks of its arrival by whizzing up and down dirt wagon roads with passengers giving him gold for the privilege of riding in his car.
It didn’t take Sheldon long to realize the commercial value of cars. He quit his job, and along with three passengers, set out on July 29, 1913, to try the impossible – travel by car over the primitive wagon trail.
They jolted over washouts, plowed through slides and mud and forded streams with no bridges to arrive in Valdez at 11 p.m. on August 2. They had cut the 370-mile trip down from more than two weeks to about five days.
He sold the Model-T for $1,300 in Valdez and bought a bicycle. He then pedaled back to Fairbanks, becoming the first person to ride a bike from Valdez to the Interior city.
He then ordered more Model-Ts and started Sheldon’s Auto-Stage Line. The 100 miles a day made by Sheldon’s fleet proved impossible for completion for other outfits – and many historic roadhouses went out of business, too, as they were spaced about 20 miles apart to accommodate those traveling by horse and wagon or dog team.
Sheldon, who later served in our Territorial and State legislatures, died in 1983 at the age of 99. He never got rich from his pioneering transportation efforts, but he felt rich in friends, memories and engineering achievements. He often said: “Who wants to be the richest man in the cemetery?”

Riding Alaska - Denali Highway
Denali Highway (Alaska Route 8) is a lightly traveled, mostly gravel highway in the U.S. state of Alaska. It leads from Paxson on the Richardson Highway to Cantwell on the Parks Highway. Opened in 1957, it was the first road access to Denali National Park (then known as Mount McKinley National Park). Since 1971, primary park access has been via the Parks Highway, which incorporated a section of the Denali Highway from Cantwell to the present-day park entrance. The Denali Highway is 135 miles (217 km) in length.

Skagway_ starting point of the goldrush to the Klondike region of the YUKON territory.
Skagway rarely disappoints visitors. A seven-block corridor along Broadway features historic false-front shops and restaurants, wooden sidewalks, locals in period costumes and restored buildings, many of which are part of the National Park Service-managed Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park. Beginning in 1897, Skagway and the nearby ghost town of Dyea was the starting place for more than 40,000 gold-rush stampeders who headed to the Yukon primarily by way of the Chilkoot Trail.
Today Skagway survives almost entirely on tourism, as bus tours and more than 400 cruise ships a year turn this small town into a boomtown again every summer. Up to five ships a day stop here and, on the busiest days, more than 8,000 visitors — 10 times the town's resident population — march off the ships and turn Broadway Avenue into a modern-day version of the Klondike Gold Rush.
The historic White Pass & Yukon Route railroad provides tours to the top of the mountain pass north of town. Seated in parlor cars, passengers ride up the most spectacular part of the trip viewing scenery such as Glacier Gorge, Dead Horse Gulch and Bridal Veil Falls. At the top they see the White Pass at 2,885 feet, which is also the international boundary between the United States and Canada.

Alaska Bear Attacks
A black bear mauled a man at a campground in Alaska, but the animal won't likely threaten other people, the state Department of Fish and Game said.
Spokesman Ken Marsh said the bear was pretty much goaded into the attack Saturday near Eklutna Lake Campground north of Anchorage because the man fed it meat from a church barbecue, the Anchorage Daily News reported.
The man could be charged with illegally feeding wildlife, according to Alaska State Troopers spokeswoman Beth Ipsen. He had been drinking and went for a bike ride, taking some of the food along, she said. The man came across the bear and threw it a piece of meat. He then offered the bear another piece.
That's when it kind of went ballistic, Ipsen said.
Park rangers later found the bloodied man washing himself off at the campground, Marsh said.
He wasn't terribly coherent, he said. He was unsure of where the attack actually happened.
The man was treated for punctures wounds and scratches at an Anchorage hospital. His name was not immediately released.
Authorities are still trying to sort out what happened, Ipsen said. There were no witnesses to the attack and the man struggled to convey what had happened when a trooper spoke with him at the hospital, she said.
A state biologist sent to the scene couldn't find the bear, Marsh said. There's no indication the animal will attack others.
The bear was pretty much goaded into this, Marsh said.
Biologists advise people never to feed wild animals anything
