Skagway is a living museum of the Klondike Gold Rush, where thousands of prospectors flooded the town in 1898 on their way to the Yukon. Today the entire downtown is a National Historic Park, with well-preserved false-front buildings and rangers in period costume. The White Pass & Yukon Route railway — one of Alaska's most scenic — climbs through dramatic mountain passes above the tree line.
