Skagway was one of the ports on our NCL Sun Alaskan cruise in May 2017. We rented a car and for most of the day drove over the White Pass on the Yukon Highway.
Great video! We took the train up and a van back... I wanted to do this again, but now leaning towards driving. This helps so much! 8 in our party, so we will need 2 cars. I’m afraid of bears! We did not see ONE bear during our whole cruise! Lots of whales though. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏽
Thank you so much for this!! We are doing the same drive this coming May and this was really helpful to know what to expect. Fingers crossed we see a bear!
You will love Alaska!! We also did this same drive in 2014 and saw bears then too. Besides my other Alaska videos, I have photos and information from both of our Alaska trips on my blog...it might give you some more ideas and information as well. The link is: mysouvenirmemories.blogspot.com/
My memory is a bit foggy since this was 6 years ago. I did look back at my photos and saw that there were pit toilets at one of the pullouts along the highway. Most likely you can also find a public restroom if you stop in Carcross. Here is a link to my blog post from our day in Skagway if you would like to read a little more about what we did: mysouvenirmemories.blogspot.com/2017/05/skagway-driving-klondike-highway.html
I asked the agents at customs, because it is so far down a very steep slope, how many large vehicles arrived with brakes on fire. Answer--none, f they don' know how to deal with steep hills they don't make it this far.
We are doing this drive in July. This really helps to show us what we are going to see. Great job on the video.

THIS MUST BYPASS THE ORIGINAL ROUTE THAT WAS MUCH STEEPER SNOW WALKING CLIMB THAT WE SEE IN PHOTOS FROM 1898
So beautiful! We took the train from Sagaeway this is so much better Beautiful
Thank you! Experiencing the trip via train would be fun too, but we sure liked the ability to stop frequently.
Did you see bears on train ride?
