Pulling out






By product of the gold rush





Scenes along the Skagway River





Looking toward Skagway and our ship from White Pass

Turnaround point at the top of White Pass





Heading back to town





Available for overnight stays in the Tongass National Forest

Mostly shops catering to cruise ship traffic























Looking a bit rough around the edges





Skagway hemmed in by mountains inland





Trail of '98 remembered
