Journey by the magic of steam train and travel back in time aboard the pride of the White Pass fleet, Engine #73. Your five-hour tour heads northward by motorcoach to Fraser, British Columbia, where you will begin your rail excursion. Pulled by an authentic steam engine, along the famed White Pass & Yukon Route, you'll enjoy commentary and scenic views from your vintage railcar en route to Bennett. Nestled beside picturesque Bennett Lake, this abandoned gold rush town invites independent exploration of its Klondike heritage, with time to stroll the famed Chilkoot Trail, admire St. Andrew's Church, and enjoy the 1910 Bennett station house with displays of the heyday of this isolated location. Indulge in a snack box on the rail journey back to Skagway, passing such landmarks as the White Pass summit, Inspiration Point, Bridal Veil Falls, and Rocky Point filling your camera with memories of this spectacular day.
