Skagway and Yukon
From Skagway, we rode a motor-coach into the Yukon (Canada), over to a tourist trap and stopping at many sites along the way. The tour guide/driver was wonderful. Finally, we took the famous White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad back to Skagway.

"World's Smallest Desert"Of course it isn't actually a desert - too wet and cold for that. But they like to call this sandy area that for the tourists.
