Reviews
"We walked from the cruise port to the Goldrush Cemetery and Lower Reid falls. It was a pleasant walk thru town and out to the cemetery. Was great to get off the ship and burn a few calories. The stories on the sign were interesting to read and then go find the burial sight. The waterfall was pretty. Made for a pleasant morning in port."
"I’ve been to Skagway twice and both times made the trek to the Gold Rush Cemetery. It’s about a 30 minute walk from town. It’s a bit eerie yet the setting is beautiful. The Reid Falls up a hill behind the cemetery are also pretty. I feel sorry for the tour groups who rush in by vehicle, spend 10 minutes listening to a tour guide, then rush off without having time to explore here."
"Fun cemetery to get a glimpse of the history of the area. Lots of interesting back stories when you combine this with a tour of the Gold Rush Museum in town. Tip: a $5 cab ride each way through SMART will get you here!"
"A very pretty spot a long hike from Skagway. I believe I might pay for a tour if I planned a return trip. I still have to hike 2 miles back. find they had a bathroom here. And plenty of spots to sit and relax for a few, but not exactly disability friendly."
"Historic cemetery on the outskirts of Skagway,Alaska. Depending on what tour you sign up for when visiting you most likely see this place. Some of the most earliest gold miners are buried here."
