Why Skagway?
Skagway is one of Alaska’s most iconic destinations — a small, welcoming town of wooden storefronts and Klondike Gold Rush history, framed by towering mountains and the deep blue waters of the Inside Passage. During the summer season the town buzzes with cruise ship visitors, seasonal workers from around the world, and endless daylight.
On your days off you can ride the legendary White Pass & Yukon Route Railway, hike the Chilkoot Trail, kayak among glaciers, spot bald eagles, bears and whales, or take a road trip across the border into Canada’s Yukon Territory. Few Work & Travel locations offer this much raw natural beauty.
