Natures beauty and a man made snake
We didn't see this water fall close up. On our way to Yukon Suspension Bridge, we made a stop to see this beauty on the opposite side of the Klondike Highway. From afar I can see it more complete and much better. The water flowing from Goat Lake to Skagway River, the water falls do look like a pitchfork. Not too far from the falls, I also saw a man made snake, (a pipeline visible from across the valley, where we were) I asked our guide and driver, he said that is a hydroelectric project, providing electricity to the community of Skagway. That is an unique site to see. Happy Travelling!

Great falls, but quite a ways from the highway.
These Pitchfork Falls can be viewed on the highway from Skagway to Whitehorse. It is located about a half hour from Skagway. There is a pull off so you can get out and view the falls, which are on the other side of the river. There are no amenities at the stop. The falls are quite long as they cascade down the hillside.

Spectacular Waterfalls
These falls are visible from the White Pass & Yukon Railway train journey on the way to the top. Spectacular scenery, keep your eyes peeled every minute of the journey.
