Skagway or Bust

I've had a major change in my life occur here. I've just been hired as City Manager in Skagway, Alaska. After seven years as Harbormaster in Valdez, it's time to expand my horizons.

Skagway is located in northern Southeast Alaska and is a major cruise ship destination. It was the jumping off point of the Yukon gold rush and has preserved much of the history from these major events of over a century ago.

Thousand come to hike the Chilkoot Trail, visit the Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park and ride the White Pass and Yukon Railroad to Frazer, British Columbia.
