An outdoor wooden sign describes a brief history of Skagway, Alaska, USA, a remote outpost made famous by the 1897-98 gold rush to the Klondike in the Yukon Territory of Canada. Today it is a popular tourist attraction reached by cruise ships and the Alaska ferry system that provides a marine highway to communities in Southeast Alaska that have no access by road. Many visitors to Skagway board the historic gold-rush White Pass & Yukon Railway for a scenic mountainous train excursion that climbs from sea level to the 2,915-foot (888-meter) summit of White Pass.
