century shops and saloons are still open for business. Boardwalk sidewalks, period costume and great shopping

characterize this town of 800. See www.skagway.com for more information.

WHITE PASS SUMMIT EXCURSION - Our most popular excursion!This three hour, forty mile round trip climbs from tidewater at Skagway to the summit of the White Pass - a 2,885 foot elevation! This fully narrated tour features two tunnels, sky-high trestles, cascading waterfalls, historic sites and spectacular scenery!

BENNETT SCENIC JOURNEY - Escape into the heart of history!Travel 67.5 miles by train between Skagway, AK, and Carcross, YT, traveling the same route that the Klondike stampeders traversed in 1898! Couple that with a motor coach transfer along the scenic Klondike Highway to/from Skagway, with a stop at Emerald Lake for photos, for the perfect combination of your Canadian & Alaskan holiday adventures. Bennett, BC is only accessible via the White Pass train or by hiking the world famous Chilkoot Trail. Don’t miss a visit to the 1910 Bennett Station for a stroll through our historic museum. A hearty boxed lunch will be served on board as the train travels the length of Lake Bennett and arrives in Carcross, YT.. PASSPORT REQUIRED.

FRASER MEADOWS STEAM EXCURSION (tours will be available starting in 2019)Travel with one of our steam locomotives, Engine No. 73 or Engine No. 69, 6 miles beyond White Pass Summit to Fraser Meadows.
