Is the White Pass Summit train excursion worth booking during your Skagway, Alaska cruise stop? We booked directly through Chilkoot Charters and Tours — not through the cruise line — for the scenic rail and bus combo that climbs 3,000 feet over 20 miles into the mountains, crosses into Canada, and stops at a teal-blue lake that ended up stealing the whole day. Here's our honest take, plus the seating tip nobody tells you about before you book.🚂 ⌚Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 0:50 Arriving in Skagway 1:30 Consider Booking an Excursion 1:58 White Pass Rail & Bus Excursion 4:51 Bernard Lake 5:37 Back in Town 5:58 Red Onion Saloon 6:26 Klondike Doughboy 6:40 Fun Fact 7:30 Is the White Pass Train Worth It? 8:15 Outro 🚌Excursion booked directly through Chilkoot Charters and Tours: https://chilkootcharters.com. A special thank-you to our tour guide, Mike — Heidi's husband — for such a great day on our tour. If you book with Chilkoot Charters, ask for Mike, you won't be disappointed.
