Day 5 -
Skagway
Where the Gold Rush began, Skagway was the turbulent staging point for prospectors hell-bent on getting to the
Klondike gold fields. Go ashore. Stroll the weathered boardwalks and drop in at old-time saloons or
shop for gold nuggets. You may opt for a ride in a vintage parlor car up the historic White Horse Pass, via the narrow gauge railway. Skagway has preserved the atmosphere of the 1898 gold rush better than any other town in Alaska. |
