Hands down my favorite tour of our 10 day Alaskan vacation thanks to our guide, historian, botanist, story teller, poet and comedian Joe Shepherd. I learned more in our time with him than almost anywhere else. He was a wealth of knowledge and I was captivated by his depth of understanding of the people and the stories of Skagway. He even read us his own poem about the raven. And, thanks to Joe’s suggestion, we’ve added a new recommended book to our library - The Hidden Life of Trees. Fascinating! Thanks Joe for an unforgettable adventure!
