All aboard!

Last week we had a charter cruise so our itinerary changed. We visited Skagway for the first (and last) time for the season. The big thing to do in Skagway is the train up into the mountains where all the gold mining happened...so that's what we did. It was a gorgeous & sunny day... and it was great to get out of all the shopping and into nature!
Hopping on the White Pass Railway!
Downtown Skagway. They try to keep it looking like it did in the gold rush days!
The train snowplow that is still used during the winter.
They look like actors, but we passed these guys on our way up the mountain. I'm not really sure what they were doing or how they got there.
The tracks started right outside the ship.
