The largest city in the United States will probably surprise you. It's not New York, Houston, Chicago or Los Angeles. It's Juneau, Alaska considered by many to be the most beautiful capital city in the nation. Checking in at just a little over 3,100 square miles Juneau qualifies as the biggest American city-geographically, that is.

And you thought Alaska was just igloos and glaciers.

As your ship approaches Skagway, you'll see the town resting peacefully at the base of a river valley bordered by the Coast Mountains. The mountains, ranging from 5,000 to 7,000 feet in height, seem to rise straight up from the saltwater fjord. Once on land, the streets of Skagway draw you back almost 100 years, when this idyllic Native fishing village was overrun by hordes of prospectors. Today, wooden sidewalks, old-fashioned saloons, quaint gift shops and horse-drawn carriages serve as reminders of the "Days of '98."
