I believe there are two different excursions. One takes you round trip on the White Pass Yukon Train, and the other takes you 3,000 up into the mountains and then you take a motorcoach back down to town. For your information, the train begins and ends at the pier where the ships dock, so this is very convenient. For your information, we really enjoyed the Days of '98 show. It is a theatrical production in town and I believe it is also offered as an excursion. It is not necessary, however, to purchase the excursion when you can simply walk into town yourself and purchase a ticket at a nominal fee. The production is all about Soapy Smith -- the town bully -- back in the gold rush days. As a matter of fact, he is buried in the cemetary you will see as you pull out on the train. The production is very "up close" and "personal" -- a very nice and lively show, and they service kettle popcorn in brown paper bags. Very nice and "intimate". Skagway is not that big, so shopping is what the town has to offer -- with the exception of excursions outside of the immediate area.

[QUOTE="Mary Sunshine, post: 720701"] I believe there are two different excursions.
