From the sea to the summit to remote Bennett, British Columbia
Travel with Engine No. 73, our 1947 Baldwin steam locomotive on a 4 hour, 52 mile round trip adventure 6 miles beyond White Pass Summit to Fraser Meadows.
No other railroad is quite like the White Pass & Yukon Route. Against all odds, the iron trail was carved through some of the North’s most rugged terrain in 1898. This engineering wonder climbs nearly 3,000 feet over 20 miles of steep grades and cliff-hanging turns.
Relax in old-fashioned parlor cars as you retrace the original route to the White Pass summit, passing Bridal Veil Falls, Inspiration Point and Dead Horse Gulch. Enjoy a breathtaking panorama of mountains, glaciers, gorges, waterfalls, tunnels, trestles and historic sites. See the original Klondike Trail of ‘98 worn into the rocks, a permanent tribute to the thousands of souls who passed this way in search of fortune.
SPECIAL NOTES
No identification is required as you do not disembark the train
at the summit. This tour can accommodate electric wheelchairs
and scooters.
