There is no railroad quite like the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad.
Against all odds, this iron trail was born because of the 1898 Klondike gold
rush and built through some of the most rugged and spectacular terrain. Almost
100 years later, this narrow gauge railway is still in operation. Ride aboard
an old-fashioned parlor car retracing the original route to the summit of White
Pass. As you leave Skagway behind, the Alaskan Wilderness unfolds outside your
window as you climb this steep grade past the Bridal Veil Falls, Inspiration
Point, and Dead Horse Gulch. After reaching the White Pass Summit, the international
boundary between the U.S. and Canada, you’ll return along the same route
back to Skagway and the ship.
Liarsville, the Gold Rush Trail Camp, located on the outskirts of Skagway next
to spectacular waterfalls. walk over to the world-famous Hippodrome, where a
cast of sourdoughs and dance hall girls dazzle you with a hilarious melodrama,
recite Robert Service poetry, and teach you the art of gold panning. You are
guaranteed to find gold in every pan! Afterward, wander through the bathhouse,
saloon, bordello, and laundry tents, and discover the antiques and vintage clothing
left behind by the miners and ladies of the evening. Whether you are shopping
in the rustic Liarsville General Store, taking pictures, or shaking hands with
the camp’s huge lovable Mackenzie River Husky, your visit to the Gold Rush
Trail Camp will be an experience you will never forget.
Approximately 4 hours.
