Begin your journey via ferry from Haines to Skagway. Once in Skagway, you will take an unforgettable round-trip journey aboard the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad. Against all odds, this iron trail was built through some of the North's most ruggedly beautiful terrain and, 100 years later, it is still in operation.
Ride in a comfortable vintage or replica car to the summit of the White Pass, through two tunnels, over trestles, and through remote valleys. Pass Bridal Veil Falls, Inspiration Point and Dead Horse Gulch as your guide announces all the points of interest and tells the story of the Klondike Gold Rush.
At the White Pass summit at 2,865 feet, travel around the summit loop allowing everyone to experience the excellent views during this 2¾-hour rail journey.
This narrow-gauge railroad is an International Historic Civil Engineering Landmark. It shares this honor with the Panama Canal, the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty and is truly a world wonder.
Return to Haines by ferry.
Please note: The return time to Haines will be advised on board. Your tour includes a boxed lunch and transfers to and from the train. Restrooms are located on each train car. You will not get off the train during the tour. Terrain includes a marine ramp from the pier to the ferry, which can be very steep at low tide. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair.
