Skagway boomed during the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898, when thousands of prospectors passed through on their way to the Yukon goldfields. The downtown is now a National Historical Park, with restored false-front buildings and rangers in period dress. The White Pass & Yukon Route railway climbs from the waterfront through the mountain passes and above the tree line.
Skagway in February brings cooler conditions, with highs around 33°F, so pack layers alongside your warm-weather gear. Expect around 8 rainy days, typically brief afternoon showers rather than all-day rain. Morning excursions are usually the safest bet. Cold and dry for Alaska
Crowds are moderate in February, making it a good balance between availability and weather. Dress in layers: a waterproof shell over a mid-layer handles the range between cool mornings and afternoon port temps.
