Skagway - Old train towards the gold

After we had got some food, warmed up and new dry clothes, we went off again. This time we entered an old train with wagons from the old time. Really nice to sit there and enjoy the trip. We got up to the canadian/usa border before we returned. Along the way we passed the path that the golddiggers were going with all their luggage with the hope to find gold. There are many stories about the hard work it was to get over the mountains, and how easily it was to loose the gold - if they found some.
