No town in Alaska is quite like Skagway with its blend of history and outstanding natural beauty.

Lying at the head of the Lynn Canal at the northern end of Alaska’s Inside Passage, much of the town is situated within the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park.

Original wooden cabins and buildings

The town was founded in 1897 when more than 40,000 prospectors arrived on their way across the hazardous Chilkoot Trail to seek their fortunes in the goldfields of the Yukon’s Klondike. The building of the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad enabled many more to make this arduous journey and established Skagway as the principal port to the interior. Many of the original wooden cabins and buildings remain today, making the town a popular destination for cruise ships and evoking characters of the past such as William Moore and 'Soapy' Smith.
