The White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad in Skagway, Alaska, offers a historic and scenic train journey through the rugged terrain of the Klondike Gold Rush. Built in 1898, this narrow-gauge railway climbs nearly 3,000 feet over 20 miles, winding through steep mountains, deep gorges, and over breathtaking bridges and tunnels. Passengers are treated to panoramic views of glaciers, waterfalls, and dense forests as they learn about the history of the Gold Rush and the engineering marvel that made the railroad possible. The journey combines natural beauty with a fascinating glimpse into Alaska's past.
