Yukon or anyone in the know,

Would we be seeing the same scenery if we drive to Emerald Lake vs. taking the Whitepass Railride?

Nope. The common views are only a few miles. The differences is the distance too. With the round trip train, it doesn't get into the Yukon, unless you book a combo train/bus tour specifically for the Yukon. (some buses are round trip summit- which is BC).

 

The White Pass, is loaded with history, superior scenery and amazing engineering. The Klondike Highway was completed in the 70's. :) and is an extremely scenic road. The best gift you have here is Murray's WONDERFUL detailed guide http://www.***** Just fantastic if driving is your preference.

Is this a published item or only available by download? Should I buy both this and the Milepost and what is the difference? We will be doing a lot of driving on our Alaskan vacation and these look to be invaluable resources. Joan

Are you driving interior Alaska??? The Milepost is a necessary reference for there.

We will be driving from Anchorage to Seward to Denali and Talkeetna back to Anchorage. Thanks BQ for the help. Joan
