SKAGWAY. We took the fast ferry over from Haines for the day. It was a fun town to visit. Historic Skagway saw tens of thousands of gold seekers poor into take White Pass up to the Klondike. It had 80 saloons, places to gamble and "ladies" to keep them happy before the arduous trip up the pass. Today the town of just under 900 is a cruise ship destination. There are many picturesque false-fronted buildings preserved as a National Historic Park. We also went to the museum that gave lots of information about the town. We took a tour up to the Yukon (see below) and had a great day heading back to Haines at 8:00.
