Duration: 4.5 hours

Your journey begins as you board an 1890's-style parlor car and retrace the original route up to the Yukon’s White Pass Summit.  The world-famous narrow gauge White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad promises an unforgettable ride along the eastern side of the White Pass as you retrace the steps of early gold seekers. This iron trail was built over 100 years ago through some of the North's most rugged terrain.   On arrival at the summit, board a motorcoach for a narrated tour back to Skagway.  Your driver/guide will share stories of hardships and daily life struggles the stampeders faced.  While following in the footsteps of early gold seekers, you will see the historical areas of Brackett Wagon Road, Pitch Fork Falls, Dead Horse Gulch and the infamous Tormented Valley.  Once back in Skagway, you will have a guided tour of  Skagway’s historic downtown area filled with wooden boardwalks and false fronted buildings as your driver/guide shares stories about the  famous and foolhardy who lived in Skagway during the gold rush.  You will make a short visit to the Gold Rush Cemetery.   This historic cemetery is the final resting place for many of Skagway’s colorful characters.  Hear the legend of Soapy Smith and his rival Frank Reid, as well as view their grave sites.  Your tour culminates with lively storytelling and music at the “Trail of 98’” show.  Return to your ship by motorcoach or stroll Skagway’s bustling streets on your own as the tour comes to a close.
