My beautiful home town, I left there in 1964.Boy it sure has changed. I Moved back to Juneau in 2012 and, still have not made it back home.It really looks beautiful but, I would like to see our old village like it was when I was growing up.

[@TravelingAtoZ]

It is such a cute little town. I bet it looks like a completely different town with how much they have been building up for the last few years.

[@jordanandsoph]

We lived in Alaska for several years and now every time I see a video about Alaska I miss it! Such a beautiful place!

[@TravelingAtoZ]

It is such a beautiful state.

[@Travelsheesh]

Beautiful sunny day❤ Love the vibes out there

[@TravelingAtoZ]

Thank you.

[@traveladvisorak6065]

This looks so nice, the village, the sky Gondola, the lake and many more. Enjoyed it.

[@TravelingAtoZ]

It was beautiful.

[@unstoppabledigitaltravelling]

Loved everything about Alaska from your videos. What a scenic place. Picture perfect. Have a great time.

[@TravelingAtoZ]

Thank you!

[@rightrecipefortravel]

Thank you for the tour of Alaska. It is such a rugged and unique landscape.

[@TravelingAtoZ]

It is is beautiful.

[@AndysWorldJourneys]

Wow so much to unpack! The carving is awesome and the zipline looked like so much fun!

[@TravelingAtoZ]

It was a lot of fun.

[@atifhussainarain]

Alaska is really magical and so fascinating to explore, love the zipline and it must be great to experience.

[@TravelingAtoZ]

It was a fun town. We really enjoyed the ziprider.

[@thetravellingwelshman]

Alaska really is a fascinating state that has so much to offer!! Its such a fascinating place with some extraordinary natural landscapes! I would absolutely love to explore it some day!

[@TravelingAtoZ]

It is a beautiful state. There is so much to see and do.

[@RachaelMartin]

Wow, such a beautiful area! Loved the part about the totem pole! So cool! :) And the gondolas look like so much fun!

[@TravelingAtoZ]

Thank you. It was a fun little area.

[@LauraMartinez-bs7xx]

Really enjoyed this video! Thank you for sharing! 😊💛

[@TravelingAtoZ]

Thank you!

[@lifeofpri..]

We didn’t cover these spots in Alaska in our recent visit so it’s going to be so helpful when we do go back there again… Literally getting so many ideas from your videos… Thank you…

[@TravelingAtoZ]

It is a beautiful state!

[@italianstallion3130]

Best cruise port in the world. Never do an Alaskan cruise that’s not stopping here.

[@TravelingAtoZ]

It is such a fun stop! We really enjoyed it.

[@judycohentx]

We did the zipline on a rainy day. They provided goggles to keep the rain out of our eyes. It was amazing!

[@TravelingAtoZ]

I had no idea that they would give out googles. The zip liner was so much fun. We really enjoyed it.

[@KJFTravelAdventures]

We didn’t stop at these places on our Alaskan Cruise. Will definitely try and take a different route when we plan our next one to try and hit these!

[@TravelingAtoZ]

There are so many cute towns to see and so much to do.

[@evabalga6133]

Hoonah please!!!!!!! Also - Icy Strait is a body of water, place you are visiting is icy Strait Point.

[@TravelingAtoZ]

Thank you for watching and the info.

[@mareemelksham1015]

When you did the zip line did you just have a selfie stick, to keep filming?

[@TravelingAtoZ]

I held the GoPro when went down. I have a case with a wrist strap.

[@mareemelksham1015]

Forgot to ask what time of the year were you there? We are from Australia and will be there on the 3rd Sept so wondering what to pack?

[@TravelingAtoZ]

We went Sept. 4th. I recommend dressing in layer and bring a rain jacket. It rained most days. The nicest day was when we were in Icy Strait and it was probably 70 degrees (21 C). Most of the trip was around 58 degrees (14 C). When you are cruising by the glacier, the wind blowing off the glacier is ice cold so I would recommend a warm jacket, hat, and gloves.

[@jessjaympc]

Great video. Did you use your phone to record going down the zip line?

[@TravelingAtoZ]

I used a GoPro.

[@donm4452]

Did they actually weigh anyone going on the Ziprider? They have a weight limit and I am just curious. Thanks!

[@TravelingAtoZ]

I don’t remember if they weigh you or not. If they did it was were we received our tickets not at the top by the ziprider.

[@HiFlyer371]

Going to be there in September! Can someone tell me what type of facilities are available at the top of the gondola run? I'd like to go on the loop trail but my wife can't and would wait for me. Is there a gift shop, restroom? Thanks.

[@TravelingAtoZ]

At the top of the gondola ride they have a restroom, and outdoor seating area, and a place to buy drinks. There is not a lot to do up on top. I think they are trying to build and expand. I am not sure if they are adding more this season or not.

[@HiFlyer371]

@@TravelingAtoZ Thanks!

[@mistutorialesdephoto]

Where? or with who? Do I reserve my time slot to go down on the zip rider? I bought the unlimited Skiglider Gondola

[@TravelingAtoZ]

We bought the zip rider ticket through the cruise ship. I recommend booking your slot as soon as you can. The zip rider ticket allowed us unlimited access to the top of the mountain via the gondola.

[@tommycan284]

is the hidden lake trail tour with the guide cost money?

[@TravelingAtoZ]

It was free for the hike, but cost to go up on the gondola ride.

[@KissesFromCanada]

The description of the difference between a black bear and a grizzly bear was oversimplified.

[@arcticthundergamer113]

rofl we used to eat what you call Indian celery all the time

[@TravelingAtoZ]

It was so neat to hear about all the different vegetation and how they were used by the people of the area.

[@robertmorgan6506]

It’s not Hooka

[@TravelingAtoZ]

We I edited the video I relived I said it wrong 🫢. I tried to put the name in red above were I mispronounced the name.

[@arcticthundergamer113]

Hoo Nah not hooka

[@TravelingAtoZ]

Oops. Thank you.

[@tbgr8scott]

I like your video and your daughter is darling, but when watching it we are looking for information on the port, not long shots of her. Also don’t appreciate your coarse language. I know I will get criticized but not all of us enjoy it. Otherwise we enjoyed the rest of your video.

[@TravelingAtoZ]

I think you commented on the wrong video? We don’t have a daughter and we don’t swear in our videos. I’m not sure if you had a chance to check out our video. We do talk about everything you could do in the port.

[@DancEncounters]

What are you talking about? I heard no coarse language and I didn't see any kid.

[@nancysnyder6664]

sadly mispronouncing "huna" "hoonah" "xunaa" as "hookah"! in the first part of this?! Two times! Also stating that Hoonah is a part of icy strait. Not so much. Icy Strait is a part of Hoonah. This woman's take on Icy Strait and Xunaa is a far cry from its rich history.

[@TravelingAtoZ]

I did realize I mispronounced “Hoonah” unfortunately I didn’t realize until I got home. The only way I could try to correct in the video was by highlighting the name in red above for reference, which I did the two times I mispronounced it. I did’t realize Icy Straight was part of Hoonah and not the other way around. Thank you for the information.

[@evabalga6133]

@@TravelingAtoZAlso - iťs Strait, not straight. Excused if it’s typo.

[@AdventuresOfATravelingDon]

Alaska is gorgeous. Love that little town of Hoonah. The Falls are lovely and I love that history of the Cannery. Oh the views from the Gondola. I've heard of certain areas of Alaska that you have to have a guide to hike through. That ziprider looked like so much fun!

[@TravelingAtoZ]

It was a fun little town!
