This was an awesome excursion! The scenery is beautiful, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the area and the gold rush. Definitely sit on the left side of the car if leaving from Skagway. Stop in the train store after, or before for all your train needs. If you like old trains, history, and beautiful scenery, this trip is a definite yes!

This one's a must do. It's hauntingly beautiful if you get the right day for it. Go out onto the platform outside the train cars for optimal views.

Did not have time to take the tour during my visit, but you could get a good flavor of its offerings from the outside display.

The train goes along the mountains and so there are a lot of tall steep looking places. You can learn about the history of the Yukon and see the wilderness of Alaska. Its very beautiful, train stops just before Canada in north British Columbia

This train ride is the best train ride i will probably ever take! It is so comfortable and relaxing that you want to doze off at times. What wakes you up are the breathtaking sights and the freshest air you could ever inhale. I loved my time in Alaska and I loved this train ride!

Beyond words. The highlight of our Alaskan adventure.Highly recommend the railway experience. We had others in our group do the bus option and they were disappointed, they did not get to experience as much as those of us on the train.Do not miss this!

Absolutely beautiful. We did a cruise ship excursion through Alaska 360 and this was one component of the tour. Some other options are longer and stop in Canada, which requires your passport, so make sure you know if you need it! Neat trip. Loved it.

This is an activity you must do in Skagway! We opted for the three hour train ride up White Pass and back. Some of their tours take you to the Yukon in Canada, but we were limited on time. We got to the station and walked over to the train tracks. I wasn't expecting much out of the train but it was so cute and nice! They have bench seating on either side of each car. The most stunning views I've ever seen! The narrator shared a lot about the history of Skagway and the Gold Rush era. It was a rainy day and made it so beautiful! We saw so many waterfalls, bridges and overall just pretty scenery.

This is a must do if you’re in the area. The train ride is very scenic and beautiful with plenty of opportunities for pictures. It is staffed with park rangers who are very knowledgeable of the area and who can answer any questions that you may have. The train cars are warm and weatherproof so if you are in inclement weather, this would not be an issue. That being said if it is very foggy out, it would be a waste of time, because so much of what makes us a great trip is the scenery which you would miss if you were fogged in. Lots of opportunities to see wildlife, especially eagles.

We enjoyed our train ride. It felt plenty long, ample opportunity for photos and video. We even briefly crossed into Canada before looping back. I gave it five stars, but I do wish there was an option to wear a headset to listen to the guided tour. We had an unusually loud group of people in our particular train car, so we couldn't hear the majority of the information over the speakers that the guide was sharing. We enjoyed the scenery and appreciated that there was a restroom in each train car. They also offered complimentary bottled water. Overall, we loved our train ride.
