Overview

  • Download GuideAlong's Skagway Walking Tour to explore this Alaskan gold rush town. Tucked between the harbour and the towering mountains and forests, this small coastal village is packed with rugged Alaskan views and sites preserved from the brief but hectic Klondike Gold Rush. See the engine that helped build the White Pass Railway, Captain Moore’s cabin built on his original 160-acre claim, and gangster Soapy Smith’s saloon. Hike to the lake and mountain views or browse the shops and museums; it ends near the docks. Skagway is a perfect stop on the Inside Passage or Golden Circle.
