Dyea Ghost Town, Nature and Wildlife Viewing
PASSPORTS REQUIRED!
Explore a real ghost town! Dyea (pronounced Di-yee) was a bustling town of about 8,000 during the Klondike gold rush. Frequently the jumping off point for prospectors to reach the famous Chillcoot Trail, the town did a thriving business outfitting them for the trip into the Yukon.
As the gold rush drew to a close, so did the town of Dyea. After Skagway's White Pass Railroad became the most popular route to the Yukon the town's population slowly diminished, leaving behind historical buildings and a small graveyard.
This beautiful little piece of gold rush history is well worth seeing!
