Our 1st port where we could disembark from the ship was the small town of Skagway. Located in the Northern tip of Alaska inside passage. It is nestled at the base of snow capped Mts. of the coast range. It is know for the great Klondike Gold Rush which begin in 1896.....
We docked next to a Railroad yard that had 3 or 4 trains ready to take those who were interested on a adventure tour to the Yukon by way of a narrow gauge railroad that went through beautiful valleys and Mountains. Some of my family took the tour and reported it was absolutely fantastic.
Sharon and I choice to take a bus tour up the Klondike highway to the Summit on the Canada border. The following pictures are from that half day journey.

I like unique and different Architecture. This is the Artic Brotherhood Hall in the heart of Skagway and very unique.
This is the Gateway place for those who were successful during the Gold rush. |
