Skagway

Skagway came into existence during the Gold Rush. Broadway (main street) is much like it was in the late 1800's.

Fireweed grows everywhere in Alaska during the summer. The hillsides were blazing with the purplish-pink flower.

Notice the sign.

We couldn't leave town without stopping at the Red Onion Saloon. This was the most famous bordello in town in the 1890's. They used to have 10 girls with small rooms in the back of the bar. The bartender kept 10 dolls on the bar, and when one of the girls was occupied, he laid that doll down.
