Alaska weather and travel is often unpredictable.  One day it could be pouring rain and howling wind while another is sunny and hot.  Planes and boats can get delayed and cancelled.  We’d like to think this just adds to the mystery of the north.  Be prepared with these recommendations and your experience will be a breeze.  You can also visit www.Skagway.com for helpful tips on traveling to Skagway.
