Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary: Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park
KellerLynn K. Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary: Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park
The National Park Service held a GRI scoping meeting for Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park in Skagway, Alaska, on June 16 and 17, 2009, in the refurbished, former White Pass and Yukon Railroad Depot (built in 1898), which now serves as the park headquarters and visitor center. Train tracks once ran down Broadway Street to the depot (from Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada, 180 km [112 mi] to the north) but are now located south of the building. Train rides amuse visitors and startle scoping participants, unprepared for train whistles and the site of an engine on 1st Avenue during meeting introductions.
