White Pass and Alaska History
The White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad delivered spectacular mountain scenery, waterfalls, and a few memorable characters along the way. After returning to Skagway, I spent time exploring the Corrington Museum of Alaskan History, where exhibits on the Japanese occupation of Alaska during World War II, Native carving traditions, mammoth hunters, and the Iditarod offered a deeper look at the people, events, and cultures that helped shape Alaska's history.
