Description
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
All aboard the historic White Pass Railroad for a full-day wilderness adventure. Begin your day by traveling via motorcoach to the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad depot to board your train for a 67-mile trip on the historic railway en route to Fraser, British Columbia, and then on to beautiful Bennett Lake. On board, relax in vintage rail cars as you climb nearly 3,000 feet over 20 miles of steep grades and cliff-hanging turns. Accessible only by train, Bennett, British Columbia, is an abandoned gold rush town next to scenic Bennett Lake. Explore this remote area on a self-guided walking tour, then step back in time at the White Pass Museum. Reboard the train and tuck into a hearty lunch on board as you travel the shores of Lake Bennett to Carcross to explore this native village and do a little shopping. Meet your motorcoach and travel along the historic Klondike Highway on your return to Skagway
