JEEP from Skagway to the Yukon
The camera, set on Central Time thought these opening shots (in the port of Juneau) were shot 3 hours later in the day, on June 11....But, From the Port, a good look around town, and then getting into our rented Jeep for the drive to the Yukon Territory. From Skagway, it's only about 65 miles, doesn't take long - but we were entirely independent, so it really was the highlight of the trip

David Travels Series - Episode 10 - Alaska - HD
In this episode, we travel the famous Alaska coastline via the Norwegian Jewel cruise ship. Traveling by cruise provides the greatest opportunity to cover the most ground in a week’s timeframe. Our cruise departs from Seattle and stops in Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, BC, Canada then back to Seattle.
Alaska offers so many amazing sights, it was hard to squeeze it all into one episode. So I only picked the top 3 destination ports for this episode. Sit back, relax and I hope you enjoy this extended episode of David Travels.
Ketchikan, is a city in Ketchikan Gateway Borough, Alaska, United States.
Ketchikan’s economy is based upon tourism and fishing. The City is known as the Salmon capital of the world!
Ketchikan serves as both an air and marine transportation hub for southern Southeast Alaska.
The Ketchikan International Airport serves as both a gateway for Alaska Airlines jet service to and from Seattle, Juneau and Anchorage
A little thoughtful planning had me booked on an Indiana Jones style air/land adventure over Misty Fjords wilderness area with SeaWind Aviation.
They fired up the de Haviland Beaver Seaplane. Originally introduced in 1947, this plane is still the workhorse of many as the gold standard of seaplanes.
A seaplane is has floats for wheels to use for take off and landing and only one engine, propeller and pilot.
Some of nature’s most majestic work in Alaska is a short flight from Ketchikan. This unique landscape is over 2 million acres of protected land filled with brown and black bears, mountain goats, humpback whales and bald eagles..
We touched down on a high, remote mountain lake and my companions and I actually got out to take photos by standing on the floats. The peace and quiet of this moment was unparalleled.
Next Stop, Juneau AK
Juneau is named after gold prospector Joe Juneau. It’s situated close to the Mendenhall and Lemon Creek Glaciers.
Orca Whales were playing off the bow. Orca whales or Killer whales are a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family.
On the way back to town, we stopped at the famous Mendenhall Glacier. This glacier is 12 miles long. The lake infront was formed by melting ice. The glacier has also receded 1.75 miles since 1958 and will continue to retreat in the foreseeable future.
Back at the city, we stopped in the Red Dog Saloon for lunch.
This world famous saloon has provided hospitality and fellowship to weary travelers and local patrons alike since 1940.
Some old timers tell locals the Red Dog Saloon used to be just a tent on the beach during the mining heydays.
Back on the ship this time the inside passage treated us to mile high walls of granite rock and an up close view of some more huge glaciers.
Skagway, AK
In a single year from 1896 to 1897, this remote town along the inside passage grew from a few tents to a city of 20,000 gold seekers.
The area around present day Skagway was inhabited by the Tingit people from prehistoric times. They fished and hunted in the waters and forests and traded with other groups for supplies they needed.
The White Pass Trail, was one of the two main passes used by prospectors during the Yukon Gold Rush. The Yukon gold rush was an attempt by 100,000 people to travel to this area in search of their gold fortunes. Most failed and many never made it back home from these extremely harsh conditions.
This area is packed with wildlife. Brown and black bears actually use the road for easy travel. So you don’t even have to get out of your car to see them. Just keep your eyes open on the drive.
We have reached our destination. Emerald Lake, It is the largest of Yoho's 61 lakes and ponds, as well as one of the park's premier tourist attractions.
Due to its high altitude, the lake is frozen from November until June. The vivid turquoise color of the water, caused by powdered limestone, is most spectacular in July as the snow melts from the surrounding mountains.
During the summer months, canoe rentals are available; in the winter, the lake is a popular cross-country skiing destination.
The lake is enclosed by mountains of the President Range, as well as Mount Burgess and Wapta Mountain. This basin traps storms, causing frequent rain in summer and heavy snowfalls in winter.
Emerald Lake Lodge, a high-end lodge perched on the edge of the lake, is available for local accommodation.
Our final journey during the voyage home treated us to spectacular snow-capped mountain ranges set against lush green landscapes.
I NEED to Explain - Lessons Learned Traveling Alone on ALASKA Trip
Traveling alone on this Alaska trip has been difficult. I learned a lot on this trip about traveling alone across the country and juggling everything I had to do as a digital nomad. I even though about quitting YouTube. So I needed to make some changes in my life. I had a lot of healing to do between Whitehorse Yukon Territory and Leadville Colorado. When you travel alone, you have a lot of time to think and figure things out.
Bonus, got to see the Leadville 100!

★ How I Got Started
Hi, I'm Amber and in May 2017 I started this nomadic journey after selling my house and all my belongings to pursue this crazy dream of living out of my RV full-time and traveling all around North America.
After 1 year of traveling, I sold my 26 foot Winnebago Class C RV for a more nimble Class B Hymer Aktiv van. I couldn't have been more excited to continue my second year in a van that allows me to travel to more places and experience more in life.
