Deishu, a Tlingit indian word, meaning beginning or end of the trail. Skagway has always been the end of one journey and the beginning of another. From its earliest days, the steam ships brought the stampeders and their supplies from Seattle to the end of the inside passage. A journey in itself but only the beginning of the trail over the White Pass or the Chilkoot to the gold fields. The Whitepass railroad, and the Klondike highway's mile zero are both in Skagway. It is the end of the marine highway system up the inside passage. The barge lines carrying supplies to Skagway and the interior of Canada terminate in Skagway. There is lead and zinc ore hauled by road from the interior of Canada to a terminal in Skagway where it goes by ship to ports all over the world. The beginning or end, mile zero either way. For you Mile Zero can be a new beginning or end of your own adventure.

This is one of the best places I've ever stayed in they are so nice and the view is apsolutely spectacular and they gave me good advice on where to go in Alaska. If I could I'd go there again and again.
