Yukon Adventure
From the sea to the summit to Carcross, Yukon

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, British Columbia

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.

For Twenty-seven miles the railroad follows the east shore of this beautiful mountain-girt lake. On the opposite side, the mountains rise sheer out of the water to a height of over 5,000 feet. The ride along this lake is one of the most interesting features of the entire railway trip.

At the foot of Lake Bennett is Carcross, historically known as “Caribou Crossing”, a narrow channel connecting Lake Bennett with Nares Lake. The Carcross Station, situated on the edge of the lake, was built in 1910 and is a designated Heritage Railway Station.
