Winter Excursion 9, Day 258

We took a walk into Skagway this morning. At first it was not too crowded, but that changed quickly. It is a small town and there are three giant cruise ships in port!

The town of Skagway was the starting point to the Klondike Gold Rush in 1897.


Back at the ship we grabbed some lunch and then headed for the train depot for climb up White Pass, the trail the "Stampeders" took. It's a 2000 ft climb! The mountains, valleys, and the river were spectacular.

While in Skagway I got a pic of the biggest snowblower I've ever seen. I'm sure our North Country friends will appreciate this.
On the way back to the ship again we had a passerby take this for us.
And I forgot to mention that these guys woke us up this morning. This is the view from out stateroom balcony.
All is well in the Boss Camp....I mean cruise!
