Skagway Alaska is best known as the gateway to the Klondike Goldrush. The town has rich historical significance. The town is small with a population of roughly 900 people. The population doubles during tourist season when more than 900,000 visitors arrive, like we did, by cruise ships. As you walk into town, you will pass by Pullen Creek, where there is a wonderful stream walk and an interpretive trial which provides easy access to four stream overlooks. When we walked into town, we were fortunate to see silver salmon beginning to make their way up the creek to spawn.
