Riding the Rails


Bookmark and Share


While on an Alaska trek we were able to catch the White Pass Yukon Railway. This narrow gauge railway was built in 1898, 14 years before the ill-fated Titanic sank in the Atlantic. There are a number of excursions available. Ours passed the original Klondike Trail.

Riding this railroad into British Columbia, Canada is a trek worth taking. The trip will climb 3,000 feet in 20 miles. We ended with a view of the sawtooth range.

I've included a video which provides some of the experience of riding the rails. There was a surprise at 13:00.
