The Skagway Inn Bed and Breakfast

While on our walk, we were drawn into courtyard of the Skagway Inn, a bed and breakfast located in an old brothel by the gorgeous flowers outside. We had stayed at a similar place years ago in Silverton, Colorado and so were intrigued enough to step inside, and were invited to have a look around the rooms upstairs. They are all named (instead of numbered) after some of the "ladies" who frequented them over 100 years ago. Very clever!

The decor of the lobby and the guest rooms was very true to the Klondike Gold Rush period of the late 1890s, and the B&B is a popular launching point for those hiking the 33-mile Chilkoot Trail that begins just outside of Skagway.
