Extended our stay at Pioneer for another day (3rd day). Drove to Skagway with the truck for a day trip. The drive down to the city from the mountain pass was awesome.
Emerald Lake is a beautiful sight with its multicolored hues of blue and green.
The descent into Skagway is an eleven-mile down grade with some sections as steep as an 10% grade with a shear drop off on outer side of road.
As Skagway is a major port of call for the ubiquitous cruise ships, the town was filled with Boat People and gift shops. Saw a film about the Gold Rush. Drove back to our camp at Whitehorse. Went to the “Frantic Follies” in Whitehorse in the evening. It was a 2-hour Vaudeville Revue featuring a chorus line, music and skits from Robert Service ballads and poems…very good and very funny.213 miles today; 3438 total
