June 25 Whitehorse antique Railroad trip to mountain summit

This was a very scenic day with a new vista around every curve...literally. It was a very expensive item ($89 per person for 3.5 hours) but in addition to the georgeous scenery and train experience you also learned the history of the area and saw the trails they wore in the rock ledges carrying the required ton on supplies and gear over the summit to reach the Yukon gold rush areas and their dreams of prosperity.

Later in the afternoon we went to the "Spirit of '98" show...it was a historical presentation of Skagway's history complete with can can dancing girls and gun toting western characters. Very entertaining!!!
