Skagway Alaska





When Mike and I returned to Skagway on the ferry we had just enough time to shop for a little while down town before meeting Shirley and Len to take the Yukon Pass train up the mountain. This narrow gauge train was built to carry supplies in and out of Skagway during the gold rush. The train inches along the mountain side and crosses the boarder into Canada, then returns. It took three hours round trip. We were lucky. Those that had gone up earlier in the day saw only fog! We got to see the mountain side all the way up even though clouds were beginning to drift back in. We got back in time to hustle to the ship before it set sail.
