All aboard for an unforgettable journey on "The Scenic Railway of the World" to the magnificent, White Pass Summit. Travel by catamaran from Haines to Skagway and board your waiting train. Carved through some of the North's most rugged terrain in 1898, this engineering marvel climbs nearly 3,000 feet, offering spectacular views, breathtaking scenery and a wilderness guide to narrate the experience. Built during the Klondike Gold Rush, the railway was completed in 26 months by blasting through the mountains with 450 tons of explosives. Fully restored cars, pulled by vintage diesel locomotives, travel over 20 miles of steep grades and around cliff hanging turns. Retrace the original route to the White Pass Summit, take in the breathtaking panorama of mountains, glaciers, gorges, waterfalls, tunnels, trestles and historic sites from large, picture windows and hear fascinating tales of Gold Rush history recounted by a colorful passenger agent who serves as your guide. A meal is included on this full-day tour. If time allows between the train trip and the ferry ride, some free time to shop and explore downtown Skagway might be available. At the end of the day, return to Haines via fast ferry.
