Today we arrive in Skagway, Alaska. Have booked an afternoon tour on the White Pass Railway. Every one has said the rail tour is one of those can't miss tours so really looking forward to that. On the railway you climb to an altitude of 3000 feet and we're told the views are breath taking.
In the morning we tour the town of Skagway. Not a very big place but really pretty. One of the many gold rush towns that popped up during the Klondike era. Now it is a real tourist attraction and a must stop for all of the cruise ships.
In the afternoon it is time to board the train for the White Pass rail way tour. This is another one of those tours where I shot so many pictures it is hard to narrow it down to a few to post on a web site. It really was worth the trip as the train winds around some pretty high elevations. We even cross over into Canada as the five pictured flags will attest. Some breath taking scenery and some real high points where you can look straight down as the train proceeds. Really glad we booked this excursion as the scenery is breathtaking.
