Skagway, with a population of just over 1100, is located at the northernmost point of the Inside Passage in Southeast Alaska, 103 air miles north of Juneau and 110 road miles south of Whitehorse, Yukon (Canada). Nestled at the northernmost reaches of the Inside Passage, the streets are lined with wooden boardwalks and restored buildings, looking much as they did over 100 years ago.

Skagway’s history and spectacular natural setting create unparalleled sightseeing and recreational opportunities. An improbable series of events placed Skagway, Alaska, in the epicenter of the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898. Only two years later, the Gold Rush was over, and treasure seekers had moved on to Nome on

Alaska’s west coast. Today, Skagway has a permanent population of less than 900. With the numerous historic sites, museums, entertainment, shops and restaurants, this old gold town will definitely provide an unforgettable experience. This is the town where Alaska Destination Specialists won our SITE Crystal Award!
