A trip to Alaska is not complete without a thrilling helicopter ride up to Denver Glacier to meet professional mushers and their dogs. The White Pass Scenic Railway is the perfect excursion for those who want to experience Alaska on rail, as well as at sea as they travel in an old-fashioned parlor car for a 40-mile round trip and travel through an awe-inspiring panorama of wilderness.
