Creator's Key Takeaways
This was really worth the walk. Waterfall was definitely worth it.
I would actually I would recommend that. It was nice not to be able to to do stuff um without having an excursion.
It was worth every step of the way. Oh my gosh. And it's just even clearing up now. I mean, the weather is the weather was great. It was cold, but the views made it worth it.
I'm not a fish person. I don't usually eat that kind of stuff, but that was the best fish and chips that I've had. Unbelievable.

Most cruise passengers book an excursion in Skagway, but we decided to do something different. Instead of taking a tour, we set out on foot to see if we could make the walk to the Gold Rush Cemetery and Lower Reid Falls on our own. Along the way we explored historic downtown Skagway, warmed up with hot chocolate, visited National Park Service sites, and ended the day with some incredible Alaskan fish and chips. Was skipping an excursion worth it?
