Scenic Train From Alaska to Canada's Yukon

It's only 20 miles from Skagway, Alaska's deepwater port on the coast, to the border of Canada's Yukon.  But what a 20 miles they are! 

The White Pass & Yukon Route railway ride is one of the most dramatic scenic experiences in the Alaska Panhandle.  No wonder it's an all-time favorite experience for cruise travelers arriving in the preserved, Wild (North)West town of Skagway.  The tracks go right onto the dock, so we stepped off the Regent Seven Seas Mariner right onto the train.  And from there, on an incredible climb to the Continental Divide and the border with Canada.

It's an epic journey of breathtaking scenery and Klondike Goldrush tales  - in vintage train cars that take you back to the days of prospectors and adventurers. 

Meet the train conductor and hear his stories of this fabled train - one of the world's most scenic and historic rail journeys.
