We drove to Atlin and back today.
Atlin was a resort town for the rich and famous from 1910 to 1936.
The railroad ran a spur to Atlin and built a hotel and cruise ship to
entertain rich guests. The scenery is spectacular. Fishing and
hunting were also promoted. In 1936 the tourist industry collapsed
and the town fell into disrepair. Lately it has been restoring
boats and buildings and it is known as an artists' colony. The
houses are somewhat quirky.
