Planning a White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad excursion in Skagway, Alaska? Before you book, watch this complete comparison between the popular 3-hour Summit Excursion and the full-day Bennett Lake & Carcross journey. We rode the entire 67.5-mile White Pass Railroad from Skagway through the White Pass Summit, Fraser, Bennett Lake, and Carcross before returning by motorcoach. Along the way, we'll show you the scenery, waterfalls, trestles, tunnels, Bennett, Carcross, wildlife, Gold Rush history, and help you decide which excursion is the better choice for your Alaska cruise. If you're sailing with Princess Cruises, Holland America, Carnival, Celebrity, Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, Cunard, or any cruise line visiting Skagway, this guide will help you decide whether the extra time and cost of the Bennett excursion is worth it. #WhitePassRailroad #Skagway #alaskacruise Chapters to jump around: 00:00 Intro 00:34 Leaving Ship 02:02 Skagway Depot 02:27 8hr Journey 05:22 Denver Station 05:53 Rocky Point 07:20 First Impressions 08:24 Clifton & Buchanan Rock 09:06 Black Cross & Waterfalls 10:19 Bridal Veil Falls 10:52 Henley Station & Slippery Rock Views 12:26 Valley Views 13:27 Slippery Rock & Glacier Gourge 14:14 Tunnel Mountain 15:01 Inspiration Point 15:54 Dead Horse Gulch 17:02 Steel Bridge & Tunnel 18:36 Stampeders Route 19:09 Summit 22:10 Approach Turnaround for Shorter Route 23:03 Fraser - Halfway Point - Excursion Transfer 24:43 Onward Train Views 26:41 Klondike Highway 26:57 Gold Discovery 27:43 Lake Bennett 28:34 Historic Townsite & Special Greeting 29:08 Bennett Museum 30:09 Connection to Bennett 33:40 Don’t Miss the Train! 35:39 Bennett History 37:10 Yukon Territory 39:08 Ending of the Route 40:22 Carcross 41:54 Reflection of Experience 45:18 Cinnamon Roll - Chilkoot Bakery 47:38 Bus Return to Port 48:44 Another Bear Surprise 50:10 Back in Alaska ❤️ Love Traveling with Us?
