Skagway is one of the most colorful among the many interesting towns that Alaska has to offer. It is a place where the past lives on, where the cries of "gold in the Yukon" still echo from steep canyon walls and romance and excitement linger around the bend of every trail. Although it only has a few thousand residents, in 1897 its population swelled to more than 20,000, briefly making it the largest city in Alaska. The reason: Gold, which was discovered in 1896 along the Klondike River. The gold rush shaped the town's future for the next century. The current day gold rush is a little different: As with any major cruise port, tourists abound, and gift and jewelry shops abound. Highlights of your visit to the "Gateway to the Klondike" can include: The White Pass Scenic Railway, Liarsville. The Trail of '98 Museum and 60-Degrees North Yukon Golf Odyssey. more
