Day 4: Tuesday, August 30, 2011: Skagway
We had an entire day in Skagway. Our first excursion was visiting one of their gold fields, take a tour, and pan for gold ourselves. After that, we took an old, rustic train up the mountain to White Pass which is right on the Canadian border. The views from the train were breathaking.

Be sure to follow "Bill's" journey along with ours.
