Ferries and two independent operators arrive daily from Haines at the foot of the main thoroughfare, Broadway, and just a block from the train station from where two to five trains a day run over the White Pass to Fraser, British Columbia.

Here you can connect with buses to Whitehorse, Yukon. Alaska Direct buses (phone 1-800/780-6652) also run daily in summer direct to Whitehorse ($35), from where trips run to Anchorage ($145) and Fairbanks ($120) three times a week; Alaskon Express offers a similar service from the Westmark Inn on Third Avenue (phone 907/983-2241).

Skagway is very compact, and most of the sights can easily be seen on foot. The Klondike Gold Rush National Park visitor center , Broadway at second Avenue (May & Sept daily 8am-6pm; June-Aug daily 8am-8pm; phone 907/983-2921), holds talks, leads walking tours, and has historical displays and an impressive movie about the Gold Rush, as well as maps and information on the Chilkoot Trail.

Skagway's visitor center (summer daily 8am-6pm; phone 907/983-2854 or 1-888/762-1898, ) is on Broadway between Second and Third avenues in the Arctic Brotherhood Hall building.
