Skagway, Alaska at the northern tip of the Lynn Canal and east of
Glacier Bay is the
northernmost stop on the
Alaska Marine Highway's Inside
Passage. In its heyday (1898),
Skagway was the starting point for travel to the Klondike gold fields.
The trip started just outside Skagway where
the 33-mile-long Chilkoot
Trail, accessible only on foot, ascended the coastal mountains. I
took the trip via the scenic
White Pass and Yukon
narrow gauge railway which
went on to lake Bennett.
