Laughton Glacier Hike & White Pass Rail Adventure
Strenuous Activity
Includes meal
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Your adventure begins with a 14-mile journey on the White Pass & Yukon Route railway aboard a vintage railcar. "The Scenic Railway of the World" provides views of spectacular waterfalls, rushing rivers and jagged mountain peaks. Debark the train at Glacier Station, gear up and set off on your 6- to 8-mile guided hike in the clean mountain air.
The magnificent sub-alpine rainforest valley is home to moose, bear and mountain goats. The trail winds along the Skagway River to the majestic Laughton Glacier. The terrain changes dramatically as you leave the forest, hike up the riverbed and climb over a boulder field up onto the glacier. Enjoy the breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views, exposed crevasses and moulins of the great frozen river of ice. After the roundtrip hike, you'll reboard the train for the journey back to Skagway. Lunch is enjoyed during your hike.
