Yukon Adventure

Fall under “The Spell of the Yukon” with the White Pass & Yukon Route, when you follow the trail of the Sourdoughs between Skagway, Alaska and Carcross Yukon. Follow the Skagway River up to the White Pass Summit and roll down into British Columbia to our restored 1903 station at Lake Bennett.

Bennett has always been an important stop for the WP&YR. Trains traveling north and south meet here, exchange crews and enjoy a fine lunch. The Bennett Eating House is famous for its food and was an important stop in the railroad’s operations and tourism program.

A two-hour layover at Bennett offers passengers a piping hot meal and a self-guided walking tour of the historic gold rush town-site. At the end of the layover passengers will re-board their train and continue on to Carcross.
