Impressions Of Nature: Majestic Wilderness: Bridge Over White Pass Chasm

Skagway, Alaska - Perhaps the most intriguing of Skagway's bridges, the Switchback Arch Bridge, is a train bridge over the plunging White Pass chasm. The bridge was built in 1900 to make travel easier and faster for gold prospectors trekking from Skagway to the Canadian Klondike via the White Pass trail. The bridge was abandoned in 1969.
