When they found the gold in Alaska in 1896 thousands of people came here by ships heading to legendary Klondike. Demand for the transport up trough the White Pass was so big, that they built soon White Pass railway.
Skagway was blooming at this time with many shops, bars and broothels.
Now you can see them here – many restored buildings. One of them – Red Onion Saloon is still open and pretty ladies (see the picture) offer you a tour or a beer.
Twice a day White Pass train starts 3-hours journey up to the White Pass. Expect to pay 129 USD for the round trip (3 hours). 21 years ago I and my son Adam we disembarked here and started a journey to Klondike by bus… At this time I did not see here any cruiseships in the little harbour. Today I saw FOUR…
It is still coudy. I pray for the better weather for tomorrow – we are sailing to the fiords to see famous Alaskan Glaciers…
