Alaska Ferries for this summer ...

Hello All,
If you are planning on coming to Alaska this summer, I suggest you make a reservation and payment as soon as possible. We have a new Governor who wants to balance our state budget this year so (I can only guess ) he can get re-elected. As a result he is talking about chopping out 75% of the Alaska Marine Highway System budget and to make ends meet, Privatize as much as possible. Sigh! Means rising prices.

We have been down this road before and before policy gets changed, cooler heads prevail. Hopefully will be this time too. My thinking is to get a ticket and perhaps you will be Grandfathered in with current prices. That said, keep your receipt and fully understand refund policies before giving them your credit card number.

I suggest if you are wanting to see Southeast Alaska, ferry one way and drive around the other... best of both worlds. Putting your vehicle and trailer on the ferries is expensive true but its not like you are going to do this every year …. or will you? Pretty fun!

Tom

Hi Ruth,
I'll give it a go here:


General Option 1: Drive Olympia to Everett and take Highway 2

General Option 1: Drive Olympia to Bellingham and take the Alaska Marine Ferry Bellingham to Skagway (3+days …. cannot sleep in your RV) Get a Ferry Cabin for an extra charge or sleep on the sun deck for free. Usually there are comfy lounge chairs to sleep on. People get on as early as they can to get a lounge chair and drag them around to set up a "camp site" and a place to store your day stuff. Generally, every three hours, you can go down to the car deck to walk your dog and pet your cat.... bring doggie bags. There is a restaurant on most ferries. Its a long interesting trip so to cut costs, on thing I bring up to the Sun deck is a cooler filled with snacks, breakfast and lunch fixings. In the cafeteria there is a microwave available. I 'cook' up instant oatmeal there for breakfast and make sandwiches etc for lunch (its 3 days). Then I like to buy dinner in the restaurant. Bring a good book, binoculars and be ready to meet lots of interesting people. Many times … especially early and late in the season there will be lots of young people jamming with musical instruments. No matter if you are an old fart like me, you will be welcome to sing along or play too and I have heard some incredible good music. GOOD VIBES!

Now once you get to Skagway, basically you drive to Whitehorse and turn left to see Alaska interior and the Yukon or turn right and head on down the 'AlCan' highway and eventually back to Washington State. Lots of destination options no matter which way you go. Getting a "Mile Post" would be a good idea - its a thick book that describes interesting stops along the road system. Recommend you get it well in advance of your trip as there is A LOT of information to look through.

In order to check fares, go to www.ferryalaska.com and click on 'reservations'. You wont be obligated but you can see prices. You'll find prices for walk-ons and vehicles. If you are taking your trailer you'll need to call in to get a price. They will want to know the total length of your vehicle plus trailer (hitched). They will measure you before getting on the ferry.


This is getting long and I'll post this and next other options.


Tom

General Option 2:
Relating to the above option 1: Just for clarity …. If you get on in Bellingham, your next stop will be Ketchikan (Pop about 8000) - lots to do there. City is very lineal all along the shore line.

Next stop will be Wrangle (pop. 2500). Retired mill town, on the surface not that interesting to look at … BUT once you scratch a little below the surface, this place really shines. You can find garnets on the beach (buy from the local kids - legally they have been deeded to the youth), you can also find petrified tropical coral that (get this) came from Costa Rica where it was formed and moved north over the eons with tectonic plate movement. Check that out on an atlas!!! There are also old petrographs on the beach. The town is centered on the Stikine River … a large river and until fairly recently THE "high way" to the interior for ancient peoples … reason there is so much culture in this community. The saying … All that glitters is not gold …. is really true here. The 'gold" is the people … ask a few questions and show some interest and you will find out amazing things. Those who live in Southeast Alaska are really proud of their communities.


Next stop will be Petersburg (pop 2700) … a Norwegian fishing town and until recently the home to the greatest percentage / per capita of millionaires in the US. Good hardware and fishing gear stores. Both Wrangel and Petersburg are linear cities along the waterfront and they are small. The ferry stops for almost an hour where if you have a bicycle with you, you can ride the length of the town in an hour. Just be back before the ferry leaves or you will have to charter a float plane to catch up. $$

Next stop will be either Sitka or Juneau. Sitka ( pop. 8600) is the original capitol of Alaska and home of early Russian settlements as well as very powerful native clans (still). Native culture is alive and well here. Sitka also lands huge amounts of seafood - perhaps third largest largest landings in the US. In spite of being as far north as it is, Sitka has a climate very similar to Seattle due to the warm Japanese current being immediately off shore to moderate its temperatures. Sitka is stunningly beautiful …. real estate is very expensive but oh my what a place. Best check your ferry itinerary as I think north bound ferries skip Sitka and south bound ferries do stop there. Ferry service may be once a week. There is an all weather airport served by Alaska Airlines.


Next stop Juneau (pop 32,000)… capital of Alaska and the only capital in the states that you cannot drive to. To get here you either fly, take a barge or the ferry system …. well … oh yes …. Cruise Ships in the summer. Thanks to being a government (state and federal), medical hub for Southeast Alaska, and two, large silver and gold mines, it has a year round vigorous economy. There is lots to do here and like other Southeast towns, the people are the Mother Lode. One of the most interesting things we have here is a glacier that you can drive and walk to. Its spectacular! What a thing to have as a neighbor! Downtown there are the usual tourist trap shops but right in the middle of all that is a tram up to the top of the mountains towering over town - (nearly 4000' - forget the actual number) but on a clear day its amazing as you can see til the flat earth quits … well worth the expense. Right under down town is still the main gold ore body and the reason Juneau exists. Turn of the century, Juneau had the largest gold deposit in the world and I think still does. But there is a catch …. it also has a very low percentage of gold in the ore.... 3/4 ounce / ton of ore. Turn of the century the AJ Mine was also the richest and most profitable mine in the world because ….. of gavity. Yes gravity. The early mother lode was high enough on the mountain ( Mt. Roberts - right behind the cruise ships) that the miners could tunnel in horizontally to the ore body at say a few thousand feet elevation, load the ore cars and use horses to drag the cars to the exterior of the shaft where there was a horizontal shallow grade rail system that ran the ore + cars to a place that would dump and funnel the ore above the stamp mills. Then the ore would get a primary crush, then funnel down for a secondary and so on until the ore would be a powder, shaker tables would separate the gold from the ore and finally mercury would dissolve the gold and leave a concentrate. Gravity again took the concentrate to waiting ships at tide water and off it would go to be smelted. Many gold bricks were poured right in Juneau. I forget how many tons of gold was removed from Juneau's mines …. a staggering amount. Come up and find out.


Back to the Ferry heading North out of Juneau … your next stop will be Haines (pop. 1500) … architecturally there isn't much to look at in Haines …. BUT … It is one of the most beautiful towns I have ever seen. There are hanging glaciers (don't touch water and are of high elevation) right over town …. no they won't hit it if they fall but due to the clear air it looksa like you could reach out and literally touch them. On the drive out of town towards Whitehorse, Yukon Territories you will be driving through the Swiss Alps … or it will look like that. Spectacular spectacular!!!! Likely will see lots of Bald Eagles too …. usually a winter time exhibit where there maybe 30 or 40 per tree …. still with the Chilkat River all along the highway you will see plenty. A few miles out of town, in a community called Haines Junction, youll meet the most friendly Canadian Custom Agents you'll ever find. Whitehorse about 220 miles ahead.


Next stop heading North out of Haines on the ferry: Skagway (pop. 800) is a turn of the century gold rush town. Its small but wonderful …. mostly false fronted wooden buildings and is a National Park .. the whole town but uniquely is a working town. Meaning the shops are real and people really live there. Skagway was founded because that was as far north that ships could get. During the 1890's gold rush ships would drop miners of on the docks with all their gear for mining in the Yukon gold fields. The Canadian Mounties, worried about survival of the minors over the winter required each miner to take over a thousand pounds of supplies with them or no entry. The only way to get to the gold fields was by hiking over the Chilkoot Pass … a VERY steep and long verticle trail. Some miners thought they need a grand piano …. you can still see parts thrown off the trail. History is pretty interesting here. Its windy in Skagway and its said the name came from an Indian wording meaning "the place where one is not likely to breathe the same air twice."

Now you can drive a steep road up out of Skagway and after another Customs stop, will lead you to Whitehorse and the AlCan.

I'm getting tired so think I will write of more options driving and shorter ferries tomorrow. Hope I haven't worn everyones eyeballs out!

Tom

Ruth, go to www.ferryalaska.com and click on "Reservations" …. you won't be committing your self at this point.

Foot no vehicle … this winter one way has been $450 from Bellingham to Juneau. Does not include a cabin or food. Trip takes three days. Should check as travel time gets closer. Ferry travel with vehicles fills up soon. Not as much of a problem by foot.

Tom

Yes Mike … there is a 2 lane road out of Skagway. It has a good surface and is a little steep and windy but not too bad. If you can handle the Rockies …. no problem (in the summer). The road out (Im guessing here - maps on my trailer) about 20 miles before the intersection for the AlCan.

Well, a little more accurately …. Skagway to Carcross, Carcross towards Teslin. Before Teslin you will be on the AlCan. At Carcross you can head North towards Whitehorse, also on the AlCan. Whitehorse has a nice performing arts center.

In 2006 we drove to Skagway and took the ferry to Bellingham with stops in Juneau (2 weeks), Sitka (2 nights), and Ketchakan (2 nights). Spent a week in the Glacier Bay Lodge. The Juneau campground charged $10 a day to leave the camper in place while we were gone. We rented a stateroom for the overnight segments because they were going for half price after the ferry got underway. We had reservations for all legs of the trip, but I noticed the standbys all got on. I'd do it again before I would pay for an Alaskan cruise.

Sounds like you had a good time. I think the en-route stops you made must have really added to the quality of your trip. So glad you had a good time!

I enjoyed every word of it. What a great summary of each town the ferry stops at along the way. My wife and I plan to go some year soon. A bit concerned about keeping our German
Shepherd below decks for the 3 day journey though.

My dad was stationed in Juneau in the Coast Guard from 1956-61 so I got to be there before and during statehood. I did not know there was a tram up to Gastineau Peak and Mt. Roberts.
When I was there it was a hardy hike up to Mt. Roberts.

Thanks for the detailed tour.

Hi Rob,
As for your dog …. about every 3 - 4 hours while under way, there is a 30 minute (or so) dog walk time where owners can go down to the car deck to be with their animals and grab snacks for themselves. These times can vary because of weather conditions or location of the ferries - in protected waters or rough water.
Traveling say northward from Bellingham, Washington to Ketchikan, Alaska (or the reverse) is the longest stretch where your only opportunities to "walk" your dog is on the car deck about every 3 - 4 hours. While in Alaskan waters and when the ferry stops at various towns, you can walk your dog ashore. Stops are typically for about 45 minutes - 1 hour. These stops may be in the middle of the night however.

Come on up folks … last summer was the driest, sunniest and warmest summer that I have seen in the 39 years that I have lived in Juneau. You will be traveling through a rain forrest though. Dress in layers and bring raingear … and don't forget your cameras and binoculars. You will have a blast!

Tom

Rob, there still is a 'hearty' hike up Mt. Roberts and I have done it many times. Because the tram is electrically powered, the tram operators used to offer cheap or free tickets to ride down as they wanted your body weight going down to counterbalance the body weights coming up …. funny. There is a nice restaurant, gift shop and historical theater up on top. Did I mention the view?

Juneau is not known for this but we have World Class hiking trails. Interestingly, the trails were developed by the turn of the century gold miners. The miners generally lived in town but would hike up to their claims - pick and shovel over their shoulders. You can hike all over on these same trails and once up into the alpine, the views are breath taking. I guess … add hiking boots along with cameras and binoculars. For those not into hiking, the tram will get you up into the alpine and the views.

Thanks for the info, Tom.

We were thinking about taking your advice and taking the ferry one way. Driving from MT to Prince Rupert, BC to get the ferry, spend a week to 10 days camping near Auke Bay, then catching the ferry to Haines/Skagway and driving back home. When I lived there Auke Bay had a bait shop and a dock. Things may have changed.

Nice thorough write up Tom. Just want to add that if you get off in Skagway there is a very nice campground in Dyea, adjacent to the old townsite. Last time we were there in 2017 it was still free.

If you’re still into backpacking, the Chilkoot trail is a nice two, three day hike to Lake Bennett where you can take the White Pass railroad back into Skagway. Information here: https://www.nps.gov/klgo/planyourvis...lkoottrail.htm

Every time we’ve been to Skagway we have met RV’ers who have taken time to hike the trail. There are two shuttle services that will pick you up at your campground and take you to the trailhead. Dyea-Chilkoot Trail Transport and Dyea Dave. You need to make reservations with Parks Canada since they only allow a certain number of hikers on the trail.

And required reading for Skagway, Whitehorse and Dawson City: https://www.amazon.com/Klondike-Last...42991815&psc=1

Each of my three daughters got to hike the Chilkoot with old dad during their 16th year.

Hi again Rob,
Thanks for bringing up driving to Prince Rupert, BC.

The Alaska Ferry from Bellingham, Washington to Haines or Skagway, Alaska (both towns have road access to the AlCan Highway) is a bit expensive. One can trim costs by driving to Prince Rupert, BC and catching a ferry there. Its very roughly a 1000 mile drive to Prince Rupert from Seattle and the ferry as far as Juneau is only a 24 hour passage. From Prince Rupert heading north, your stops would be Ketchikan, Wrangle, Petersburg, Sitka (maybe - check schedule) Juneau, Haines, and Skagway. Same only in reverse heading south. Either way, I recommend taking the Cassiar Highway (#37) and going down a short spur road (#37A) to the towns of Hyder in Alaska and Stewart in BC. … its a spectacular drive and on a clear day could be the highlight of your trip. Stewart has a RV campground.
Hyder has a bar that you need to go through Customs to get to …. unique. Near the north end of the Cassiar highway is a town called Watson Lake and near there is the Liard Hot Springs. Very nice hot springs and campground.

I haven't talked about driving north of Southeast Alaska and into the interior mainly because I haven't driven up there. Perhaps someone else would like to chime in and talk about those areas and highlights.

I recommend that you look into making your booking very soon as the ferry sailings fill up early. Again inquirer about refund policy before you purchase your ticket. Our state Legislature is about to convene and the ferry budget has not been finalized. There could be drastic cuts to both the schedule and budget. Rather than scaring you off from making your trip … I think you should make your plans while you can. Lots of talk about future privatizing the Marine Highway System.... and that (if it happens) will probably mean less service and much higher prices.

Come on up … you'll have a great time!

www.ferryalaska.com - to inquire about costs and schedules. Costs won't be listed online as you need to talk to a ticket agent about the extra length of your tow vehicle and trailer combined.

The ferries tend to fill up early in the season (April / May) with all the seasonal summer workers and construction equipment …. same in the fall (Sept. / October). Any earlier than the end of April and its still winter like here … any later than mid August and its rapidly heading towards fall and wet.

Tom

Fun factoid: Sitka is 25 miles closer to Honolulu than Seattle is.

Its because Sitka is so much farther West than Seattle.

re: Hyder, AK - We met a group of bikers on the Dempter who went to Hyder to get a drink+dinner and almost couldn't get back to Stewart, BC because they didn't have passports with them. was the "why do you need to bring passport to dinner" moment.



We went to Hyder, the drive out and up to Salmon glacier (which puts you in BC again) is great. We end up not camping by the glacier because we were tent camping and not too sure about bear activities there, might go that way next time and take the trailer with us.

This just came in on the news: Thursday - 5:00 Alaska Time

The Alaska Marine Highway System is accepting reservations only up to Oct. 1, 2019. This summer its expected that the ferries will run on their posted schedules. After Oct. 1, then there could be cut backs. At this time, the Ferry system is not accepting reservations beyond Oct. 1, 2019. Our newly elected Governor wants to pull millions out of the ferry budget essentially gutting it and turn the system private.

My opinion: Since a quarter of Alaska's population relies on the Ferry system on a daily basis, I doubt that there will be huge changes …. at least this year. The handwriting is on the wall though of changes coming …. likely higher prices.

If you are thinking about visiting Southeast Alaska …. come this summer.

Tom
