Skagway Alaska - offseason
« on: April 04, 2013, 01:34:41 PM »
We took a day trip down from Whitehorse to Skagway to check it out. The drive through White Pass was "interesting" to put it mildly, but the town of Skagway was almost a ghost town on that Sunday in the off-season.

Apparently 10,000 tourists/day come through from May to September, but the 900 inhabitants weren't really visible when we were there. I think we saw about 10-20 people the whole time we were there. Very strange.
