We took the Skagway Streetcar Co. tour, a shortened version being the "included" excursion on our cruise (Cruise West), though we paid the extra for the longer version. Anyone who holds a special place in their heart for Yellowstone or Glacier National Park should consider spending at least a little time in these vehicles, as they were the original touring "cars" in both of those parks - literally. All of them have been brought to Skagway over the years, and most have not been renovated in the least. Just getting a good look at the mechanics of driving was fun! Drivers were young ladies in Gold Rush-era garb, and they told entertaining tales of Skagway's mining days. Not as spectacular or scenic as the White Pass RR, but lots of fun, and a nice little overview of Skagway history. (And very meaningful to those of us to whom past years in YNP and GNP are an important part of our lives!)
