About White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad
The White Pass & Yukon Route is a three-foot narrow-gauge railway completed in 1900 during the Klondike Gold Rush era, linking Skagway with the Yukon. The White Pass Summit Excursion is a 40-mile round trip of two and a half to two and three-quarter hours that climbs from tidewater to the 2,885-foot pass. Diesel locomotives and, on some trips, steam pull vintage parlor cars. Longer trips run on to Bennett and Carcross, so pack layers for the change in elevation.
