White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad

[omgneecola]

In Skagway, if you don't go on the train, are you missing out on a lot?

Also, is there any other ways to visit the areas the train takes you?

And anyone know of any other good excursions in Skagway?

 

Thank You :)

There "is" [sic] several ways to see much of what you see on the train since there is a road that sort of but not exactly parallels the train route. You can drive or take a bus tour.

 

Just remember that if you go too far, you will be entering Canada so you need to take your passport.

The common views of the train and Klondike Highway, are only a couple miles. The scenery from the White Pass is superior. BUT the train is not a "must do". It would be, if a rail fan or interested in the history.

 

A car rental is a great option for many. You need to allow 5 hours for a round trip Emerald Lake look.

 

There are several combo bus/van White Pass tours.

 

Excellent Hiking, bike riding, Historic District with a Park Service visitor center and free walking tours etc http://www.skagway.com
