We next visited Skagway and took the White Pass Railway. The waterfalls, turning leaves, and sheer mountainous cliffs were worth the trip. Fortunately the weather cooperated and we had clear views all the way up and down. The wind kicked up and it was cold walking back to the ship. Should warn anyone with problems walking that the cruise ship docks are quite a distance from the town. A shuttle (charges $1) can be taken each way. The train, however, does back up onto the dock, which significantly reduces the walk. At its completion of the trip to White Pass the train will let you off downtown or will take you all the way back to the dock if you stay aboard.
