Skagway, a town that will grab hold of your heart and never let go.  When you walk its streets and learn its history, you begin to realize that the people who came here were a different breed altogether. They were strong, resilient, and brave. They endured hardships that most of us can barely imagine.

When most people visit Junea u, they come looking for glaciers, whales, and breathtaking mountain scenery. What many don't realize is that the story of Juneau began with a man who knew these mountains long before the city existed. His name was Chief Kowee. Long before cruise ships filled the harbor and visitors from around the world arrived to experience Alaska, the Tlingit people called this region home. They traveled these waterways, hunted these forests, and lived among these mountains for generations. They knew the land in ways outsiders could not.
