White Pass Rail, Summit, Gold Panning & BBQ Lunch

Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Experience the 1898 Gold Rush, as the prospectors never could - in first-class comfort. At the White Pass & Yukon Route Depot, board a vintage railcar for a ride on "The Scenic Railway of the World." In Fraser, disembark the train and board a motorcoach for a dramatic journey past the Tormented Valley and Pitchfork Falls en route to Skagway. Breathtaking views of surrounding mountains, waterfalls and glaciers may be captured during the many photo stops.

Stop at Dredge Town where you will enjoy an authentic smoked BBQ lunch including ribs, chicken and various side dishes. Refreshed, you're ready to meet a delightful cast of characters and find your fortune. Learn the art of gold panning and practice your technique in warm-water troughs. Gold is guaranteed in every pan! Haul your treasure into the Gold Shack and have it weighed before browsing the gold nugget jewelry collection and mining-related souvenirs.
