 Located at the northern end of the Inside Passage, Skagway is also the beginning of the Chilkoot Trail, which led prospectors to the rich goldfields of the Klondike and the Yukon. Once "the roughest town on earth," its quaint Gold Rush Cemetery is full of historic headstones. Skagway still has lively saloons, and townsfolk who love to dress up in Gold Rush garb.
