Haines or Skagway
Ok, leaving this Great Land on the 27th of August, can only do one town. Would like to hear if it should be Skagway or Haines? Thanks Mike

Haines and the ferry to Skagway and you'll see the best of everything. The road out of Skagway is adjacent to the train for part of the trip so you can save the train money if desired.
We didn't see a reason to visit Whitehorse again and took route 8 north of Skagway through Tagish to the Alaskan Highway.
The ferry fare for us was more than fuel cost to drive from Haines to Skagway via Whitehorse. But the ferry is shorter (15 water miles) and very nice.
Be advised that 2 weeks ago a number of places on the Alaskan Highway were closed for the season.
