White Pass Scenic Railway - SK01

Shore Excursions  - White Pass Scenic Railway - SK01

Not just another train ride! Take the unforgettable journey aboard the "Scenic Railway of the World" and travel 20 miles from tidewater to the summit of the White Pass. Against all odds, this iron trail was built through some of the North's most ruggedly beautiful terrain and more than 110 years later, is still in operation. Ride in a comfortable vintage rail car to the White Pass Summit through two tunnels, over sky high trestles, and remote valleys. Pass Bridal Veil Falls, Inspiration point and Dead Horse Gulch as your guide announces points of interest and tells the tale of the Klondike Gold Rush and building of the railway. Reaching the White Pass Summit at 2,865 feet, a seat exchange will occur, allowing everyone to experience the excellent views during this round trip rail journey. This narrow gauge railroad is an International historic Civil Engineering Landmark, sharing the honor with the Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty and Panama Canal. Experience this unique railroad that symbolizes accomplishment in the adventure of pioneering - triumph over challenge.
