Why Skagway?
Skagway is a legendary Gold Rush town of fewer than 1,200 year-round residents, tucked at the end of a spectacular Alaskan fjord. In summer it comes alive with cruise ships, hikers and adventurers from around the globe. On your days off you can hike the historic Chilkoot Trail, kayak past glaciers, ride the White Pass & Yukon Route Railway, spot whales, bears and eagles, or take a road trip across the border into Canada’s Yukon Territory. With nearly endless daylight in the Alaskan summer, your adventures don’t have to stop when your shift ends.
