Reviews

David, NY: To take a spectacularly scenic White Pass & Yukon railway summit ride over rails that wrote history was a real treat. Plenty of seats. If you take the non-stop round trip you experience views on both sides from the same seat. The commentary offered on the trip was very good. I highly recommend purchasing the DVD and book available on the train. The still pictures are better than you can take. The videos and narratives on the DVD are excellent and offer a great deal of information and history.
