BEST OF SKAGWAY LIMOVAN UPGRADE: WHITE PASS TRAIN & KLONDIKE HIGHWAY COMBO AFTERNOON ADVENTURE

Experience the infamous White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad as well as the greatest drive in North America in a deluxe limovan in one afternoon. Stretch out fully in a luxurious limo van with captain's chairs, a canter table, and cooler for beverages.You came this far, you may as well do it in style! Your afternoon departure will give you the chance to take another tour in the morning, explore the town while it is on the quieter side, or you can sleep in for a change! 

Experience the magnificence of this engineering marvel as you wind
along steep mountainsides and see views of the original Trail of 98 used
by the Stampeeders.  You will enjoy a ride back by minivan with with new scenery the
entire way.  Relax in vintage passenger coaches as you retrace the
original route to the White Pass Summit starting at sea level
and chugging up to 2865ft in elevation. Enjoy a breathtaking panorama of
mountains, glaciers, gorges, waterfalls, tunnels, trestles and historic
sites. See the original Klondike Trail of ‘98 worn into the rocks, a
permanent tribute to the thousands of souls who passed this way in
search of fortune. This is truly the best way to experience the train in
Skagway. 

Your driver take you on drive of your life up the Klondike Highway
through northern British Columbia and to the majestic Yukon Territory/BC
border.  You will have many opportunities to stop for photos and enjoy
the scenery up the highway and all the way back to Skagway. Enjoy views
of the train tracks and maybe spot a train in action while you are
driving south back to town.  For those who take the summit only train,
they never get to see how great they look from afar-- that is one of the
reasons the highway/train combo is so wonderful;  you get to see both
amazing routes into the interior.
