Cowpoke for a Day
Experience the life of gold miners during the Klondike gold rush days with a visit to the Liarsville Gold Rush Trail Camp in Skagway, a re-created tent city that offers a glimpse of how miners lived, ate, and prospected for gold. Along with some tall tales, you can tuck into a campfire meal, listen to anecdotes that make the past come alive, and maybe even meet a dance hall girl or two.
In Ketchikan, take in the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show, where the heart pumping comes in the form of cheering on your favorite loggers as they compete in log rolling, chopping wood, climbing trees, and other throwbacks to the days when timber was the lifeblood of the region. Some tours include costumed stage shows, re-created gunfights, and an authentic campfire dinner.
