See the Historic Town of Skagway
Skagway was an interesting little town with a big history. The town was on a Royal Caribbean stop so we made the most of it. Shopped the historic street in the morning then returned to the ship for the White Pass Railroad Tour that included a drive through the city and stop at the Gold Rush Cemetery. Appreciated the commentary on the town and cemetery. I took pictures of the interesting buildings, including the Arctic Brotherhood, then researched them when we got home. Many of the buildings have interesting backstories that I included in my travel journal with the pictures.
