On Day 3 we stopped at Skagway which is a town of about 950 full time residents. Back in the gold rush of 1896 Skagway was a much larger/wilder community as prospectors headed up the White Pass to the Klondike region of Canada's Yukon Territory.

We enjoyed the "Yukon Expedition" tour which included a beautiful bus ride up the White Pass to the Yukon Territory. Click here to see a video of the tour highlights.
