ghost town named &#8220;Dyea.&#8221;\u00a0 150 years ago it was a booming port town and entryway for gold miners headed to the Klondike.\u00a0 Now, all that&#8217;s left are some trails that mark the original streets, a cemetery\u00a0with the remains of a large group that was killed during an avalanche on the trail to the Klondike, the storefront from one of the original buildings, and lots of beautiful scenery.\u00a0 The only service in the area is a bed and breakfast where the driver dropped us off and we had lunch.\u00a0 From there we were on our own and headed out on the trials to explore.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jbranchblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/20180829-2018-08-29-13.18.50.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full
