Next stop was Skagway. We wandered the town for a little while, but then decided to hire a van that took out to an abandoned ghost town named “Dyea.” 150 years ago it was a booming port town and entryway for gold miners headed to the Klondike. Now, all that’s left are some trails that mark the original streets, a cemetery with the remains of a large group that was killed during an avalanche on the trail to the Klondike, the storefront from one of the original buildings, and lots of beautiful scenery. The only service in the area is a bed and breakfast where the driver dropped us off and we had lunch. From there we were on our own and headed out on the trials to explore.
