Skagway, a most relaxing port with a train ride up and down the mountain to the summit on the Canadian border. The scenery was beautiful, picturesque and tranquil along the 20 mile White Pass Railway line.

Skagway has a colorful gold rush history and heritage, kept alive by the train, the Red Onion Saloon, Gold Rush cemetery and the town's other historic structures. As in all the ports, the usual souvenirs are available, from 50 cent train whistles to bronze and gold eagles at $25,000.00 per copy. Also available are many unusual items, including native art, clothing, furs, ulu knives and totem poles. Lots of flightseeing and local tours are offered as well.
