JEEP from Skagway to the Yukon
The camera, set on Central Time thought these opening shots (in the port of Juneau) were shot 3 hours later in the day, on June 11....But, From the Port, a good look around town, and then getting into our rented Jeep for the drive to the Yukon Territory. From Skagway, it's only about 65 miles, doesn't take long - but we were entirely independent, so it really was the highlight of the trip

Skagway, Alaska Cruise Port Guide: White Pass & Yukon Route Railway
The White Pass and Yukon Route Railway is a popular attraction for cruise guests visiting Skagway, Alaska. Completed in 1900, the railroad was the primary means of transportation for prospectors travelling over the White Pass to the goldfields in the Yukon.
The “White Pass Summit Excursion” allows guests to ride in vintage-style passenger cars along the same route as gold prospectors of the past while seeing spectacular views, gold rush points of interest, and more. The narrated tour takes about two-and-a-half hours as the train travels forty miles round-trip to the White Pass summit at 2,888 feet in elevation.

Skagway Alaska Train Excursions Are Great When Skagway Weather Isn't Great On Your Alaskan Vacation
Skagway Alaska is an authentic Gold Rush boomtown frozen in time. Today Skagway Is perhaps best known for the Skagway Train or White Pass & Yukon Route. During the height of the gold rush more than 1,000 people per week poured into Skagway, most of which had no idea the difficulty of getting to the gold fields. When the Skagway train route through the mountains was finished it was considered one of the manmade wonders of the world and made a trip through the mountain pass a breeze.
Skagway was a lawless and wild west town far worse than in any Hollywood movie. Gunfights, robberies, and brawls were commonplace. Brothels sprang up everywhere and while technically prostitution wasn't legal the houses operated pretty much openly. You could recognize an establishment by the red lanterns or flowers in the window and the women who worked there would take a little dog with them on walks to drum up business and to tip off would be clients that they were available.
When planning an Alaskan Cruise you may want to choose one that visits Skagway. Of all the ports in southeast Alaska, Skagway is a true favorite and really should be on your must-see list. The Skagway Train or White Pass And Yukon train is a bit pricy but it is worth the ride.
Skagway weather is very unusual because it is int he rain shadow of the coastal mountains which means Skagway weather is much dryer than Juneau, receiving about half as much rain.
People are always asking me how I made these videos with cool FX. If you're interested in how I made this video on my home computer and the software I used here is a link:
NOTE: This video is an original work I created from photos taken during a visit to Skagway Alaska. I created graphics and animations from clipped objects from my photos and video editing software.

Skagway, Alaska
Recorded June 20, 2007.
Skagway is a first-class borough in Alaska, on the Alaska Panhandle. It was formerly a city first incorporated in 1900 that was re-incorporated as a borough on June 25, 2007. As of the 2000 census, the population of the city was 862. However, the population doubles in the summer tourist season in order to deal with more than 900,000 visitors. The port of Skagway is a popular stop for cruise ships, and the tourist trade is a big part of the business of Skagway. The White Pass and Yukon Route narrow gauge railroad, part of the area's mining past, is now in operation purely for the tourist trade and runs throughout the summer months. Skagway is also part of the setting for Jack London's book The Call of the Wild.
This video begins in downtown Skagway along Broadway Avenue. Here I take a look at the Golden North Hotel and other historic buildings in town. Also in the video is a glimpse of the White Pass & Yukon Railway. A journey I took back in 1994 on my first trip to Alaska, but not today. The video concludes on the Sapphire Princess as we sail away down the Lynn Canal.
