We dropped the trailer in Whitehorse and drove to Skagway, Alaska for a day.  The drive on the South Klondike Road is like going back in history to the days of the Gold Rush.  We spent the night at the White House Bed & Breakfast in Skagway.  We had a very nice room and enjoyed the break from the trailer.

Beth found several quilt stores and did quite a bit of windowshopping.

When we arrived at Skagway there was a cruise ship in port and a second one replaced it the next day.

The highlight of the trip was the ride on the Yukon and White Pass Railroad.  This is a ride I have always wanted to take and it lived up to its billing.  We also were able to see a steam engine running on another train.

We drove back to Whitehorse and picked up the trailer.  Next stop the Cassiar Highway!
