| Okay, so this turned out to be the really touristy part of
the trip. And the photos (they're around here somewhere) are like a million
other vacation shots, full of other tourists taking photos with me in them.
The view from White Pass back down to Skagway is spectacular and I'll always
be a sucker for that front of the same train as it's going around the
bend shot.
The Mounties required the Yukon gold rushers to drag a ton of stuff
with them up this mountain pass. "Nobody gets into Canada without stuff!"
It's hard to imagine how tough that was now that the day hikers seem to
be walking faster than the tourist train.
Anyway, I'd recommend this trip (once). Better yet, push on to the
end of the line, transfer to a bus on the Al-Can Highway to Fairbanks,
take the train down through Denali to Anchorage, and complete the circle
with a small floatplane trip back to the Panhandle (Alaska, not T*x#@s).
Someday... |
