Fourth Port of Call...............................

 ..........................................Skagway:

Situated in the northernmost fjord in the Inland Passage, Skagway is a delightful little town.  I say little because there were more people on our cruise ship than live and work in Skagway.  It's heyday came in the very late 1800s.  Gold was discovered in the Yukon Territory, and Skagway was the most logical jumping off point for waves of prospectors. All that traffic attracted the usual characters.  Most of the buildings seem to date from that era. Our quick tour of the town included a visit to the "Boot Hill" cemetery, where our guide gave a colorful exposition on the life of Soapy Smith.  The highlight though was the train ride up White's Pass.  Most of the photos were taken on that trip.

Skagway has a delightful historic downtown.  We had an
excellent lunch at one of their many restaurants

The Skagway River

Ditto

Some pretty fair views from the top of the Pass

A bridge in our future

I could stare at this view all day

If you squint, you can see the cruise ship

Thankfully we didn't take this bridge

Skagway.  We would go  back.
