VIP White Pass Scenic Railway

OVERVIEW

Experience the dramatic beauty of Southeast Alaska while traveling in a luxury parlor car on the White Pass & Yukon Route Railway. Along the way, you will be treated to beverages and regionally sourced appetizers that will make the ride all the more pleasurable. As soon as the narrow-gauge train begins its ascent, you will understand why the beloved WP&YR is known as “The Scenic Railway of the World.” The train will climb almost 3,000 feet in just 20 miles and present one breathtaking view after another, from thundering Bridal Veil Falls to the rugged peaks at Inspiration Point. You will also pass over the soaring bridge that spans precipitous Dead Horse Gulch, named for pack animals loaded with prospecting gear that fell to the bottom of the gorge. It will be an exhilarating ride on a railway so ingeniously constructed that it is recognized as an International Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.
