Review & FAQ:

The 110-mile long White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad was finished in 1900 in Carcross Yukon during the peak of Yukon Gold Rush. Its purpose was to connect the Skagway deep-water port in Alaska to Whitehorse in Yukon and to interior Alaska and northwest Canada.

Almost a century later, the Yukon Route Railroad is steaming again, taking passengers through mountains, gorges, glaciers, waterfalls, tunnels, and various historic sites in the luxury and comfort of vintage but meticulously renovated parlor cars. The original route from Skagway to Whitepass is a forty-mile roundtrip ride that climbs from Skagway at sea level to the 2,865-foot high White Pass summit. It offers some of the most spectacular scenery in the country.
