About Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park

This park preserves the story of the 1890s stampede to the Klondike in Skagway's historic district, where more than 20 boomtown buildings stand. Start at the visitor center in the old White Pass & Yukon Route depot at 2nd and Broadway, then see four park museums and restored spots such as the Mascot Saloon and Jeff. Smith's Parlor. Rangers lead programs and tours. Hikers with a permit can follow the 33-mile Chilkoot Trail from the historic Dyea townsite.
