Alaska & Pacific Northwest
Skagway, Alaska
Gold rush boardwalks and a railway that climbs to the top of the pass.
Skagway sits at the head of the Lynn Canal, the northern end of the Inside Passage. In 1897 and 1898 it was the lawless gateway to the Klondike gold fields. Today its false-fronted buildings are a national historical park and the White Pass & Yukon Route railway still climbs the old stampeders' route.
