The city
Small town at the end of the Lynn Canal, surrounded by mountains, which was the gateway to the Klondike Gold Rush in 1897 and 1898. The downtown preserves wooden facades from that era, some of them restored by the national historic park. The White Pass train departs from here and climbs to the Canadian border, and the Chilkoot Trail begins in Dyea. In summer, the population multiplies with cruise visitors.

The local experience
A narrow-gauge railway built between 1898 and 1900 during the Klondike Gold Rush, which climbs from Skagway to the White Pass gorge at 879 meters, crossing bridges, tunnels and rock slopes at the border with Canada.
The park that preserves Skagway’s downtown from the Klondike Gold Rush era, with restored buildings, the 1898 Mascot saloon, the founder’s house, the old train station that serves as the visitor center and the start of the Chilkoot Trail.
