The Most Scenic Train Ride in Alaska | White Pass Railway, Skagway
Riding the historic White Pass and Yukon Route Railway from Skagway, Alaska, one of the most scenic train rides in the world. This narrow gauge railway was built in 1898 during the Klondike Gold Rush and still climbs the same route prospectors once hiked on foot. On this Summit Excursion, we board right at the cruise ship pier, climb nearly three thousand feet through granite cliffs, tunnels, waterfalls, and the historic Dead Horse Gulch, cross the US Canada border, and turn around at White Pass Summit before descending back into Skagway. If you are planning an Alaska cruise, this excursion belongs on your list. Reach out if you want help booking your own Alaska cruise or a group cruise through Travel By Mike.
