Destination Highlight: White Pass Railway and Skagway Highlights

Return to the rough-and-tumble years of the Klondike Gold Rush and ride through breathtaking scenery on this panoramic excursion. You’ll begin by boarding a vintage railcar of the famed White Pass and Yukon Route Railway, a narrow-guide railroad that once carried gold seekers hoping to strike it rich. Settle into a comfy seat, a modern new addition, and rumble through Alaska’s evergreen forests in the shadows of soaring snow-capped mountains. Marvel at the unspoiled vistas on your outbound journey that crosses over the Canadian border. Transfer to a motor coach for a return trip that showcases natural wonders and remnants of the Gold Rush era. Stop at the Historic Gold Rush Cemetery on your return to hear stories of the past and learn about the colorful characters buried there. You’ll also pass Dead Horse Gulch, where nearly 3,000 overloaded and overworked pack animals died as fevered stampeders rushed forth to stake their claims.
