  • In this video we stopped at Icy Strait Point in Alaska, We were amazed at the
    beauty and scenery here, It was our favourite stop of the 12 day cruise.
    We traveled up 1800 feet in the New Gondola that opened in January 2022

    Very nice. I don't think we made this stop. It doesn't look familiar. For sure I would have gone on that tram. You for sure had more snow than we did. Nice video👍L 10

    You're right, that gondola was a real highlight. I wonder what that stop had for the tourists before it was built!

    • @explorewithdrew
      @explorewithdrew  Před 2 lety +1

      I think the cannery was in operation and cruise ship did not visit there because there is a small community 15 min walk from here called Hoonah.

    Thanks! At the top of the mountain is it only a lookout or are there shops for food, shopping, restrooms etc.?

    • @explorewithdrew
      @explorewithdrew  Před rokem

      Thank you for your question. There are lots actually two stops, at the first level there are washrooms and a large shop for souvenirs and some clothing, I do believe there is a restaurant but we did not go to it. Then the second level Summit there are washrooms (portable units) but no restaurants or shops, I was told that they will be developing the summit. The view from the top is absolutely stunning and if you have the opportunity to go to Icy strait Point, We would highly recommend it. I hope this answers your question.

    Beautiful gondola ride. Is there much to do at the top after the ride? Any free things to do or trails to walk before taking the gondola back down?

    • @explorewithdrew
      @explorewithdrew  Před rokem

      Good Morning Nicolas, thank you for stopping in and watching. Yes to answer your question of what to do at the top of the mountain, once you get off the tram besides the stunning views there is a zip line to the bottom and only a few walkways/paths, as for hiking trails we did not see any but I could be wrong about that. There is a unbelievable amount of snow there in may so I am not sure if it melts as the summer progresses. I hope this info helps answer your question and thank you for asking. If I could ask would you please subscribe as I am trying to get to 500 subs by fall thanks in advance.

    Can I ask what brand of coat your wife is wearing? My husband and I are going this year end of July. Thank you!

      @explorewithdrew  Před rokem +2

      Hi Lori thank you for watching our video this is our favorite port on this cruise it was absolutely beautiful, my wife says the jacket is from Marks Work Warehouse and it a WindRiver jacket
      She says it is rain proof , wind resistant and a very light fleece inside, she wore a sweater underneath and she was very comfortable. She was never cold in it. Hope that helps and she says she will be wearing it again in September when we go back.

      I am still trying to track down that coat. Would it be possible for your wife to look inside the jacket and get a style number? It should be on the cleaning instructions or a tag close by. It starts with 7B.
      Mark's Warehouse is working with me, but they need the style number. Thank you so much for your help!
