After exploring Skagway we took a tour with Southeastern Tours on the road running up to the Yukon and near White Pass used during the Gold Rush. ( see Gold Rush info below).

It was just Dave and me on the tour and Derek was our guide. We learned lots of facts, saw beautiful scenery, waterfalls and we saw our first brown bear on the side of the road eating dandelions. Really the highlight! We also visited the Gold Rush cemetery. Where the infamous "Soapy" Smith, a con man and leader of a gang that rob and cheated citizens of Skagway. He was gunned down by Frank Reid a vigilante who was also killed. It was a great tour. Thanks, Derek.
