Chatting with my brother as he preps for an August trip to Alaska, it's hard not to reminisce on my own rugged experience in the wild frontier, a brief venture nearly two years ago. Touring Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway, I was privy to all that the wilderness had to offer... and soaked up every second of it.
Skagway, a small town and the long ago last-pit-stop before the hike to gold, was hands down my favored locale during our trip. And within Skagway, a favorite stop was The Historic Skagway Inn, once a firey brothel that warmed the hearts (or loins) of those gold-hungry miners. Now, the suspected haunting grounds of the ladies of the night that once lived there.
I was reminded of my trip to the hotel and accompanying restaurant, Olivia's, when Live.Life.Travel. magazine recently published an article I'd written upon my return. Set against a sky of mountain peaks, this relaxed, but elegant restaurant made for a perfect evening, which included picking our own salad fixings from the lovely organic garden out front and watching the chef prepare our meal.
Sound mouth-watering? It was. You can read the full article here, if interested.
