Day 4 of our cruise was spent in Skagway. It's a cute city, much like Park City. Our excursion was the White Pass & Yukon Route Train. Skagway was the Starting Point for many gold miners who would seek their riches in the Yukon.
Our train. Conveniently stops on the pier so it's a very short walk to the train. There was a very nice wheelchair-accessible car that allowed DeeAnn to see out with unobstructed views.
River along the train tracks.
Train chugging up and down the mountain. We climbed about 4,000 feet along the path.
Fortunately, they have replaced this old bridge, but it looks like a lot of fun to go on.
The train that didn't make it.
Passing into Canada and the Yukon Territory. Now we can say we've been to the Yukon!
Trail of 1898 that the miners took.
Downtown Skagway.
Local transportation options (for tourists) in the city.
Yes, they have RV Parks! We saw quite a few RVs lined up waiting for the Alaska Ferry. Even large Class A motorhomes were able to drive onto the ferry. Not a bad way to travel and certainly an idea to keep in mind for the future.
Our ship docked in Skagway.
