More of this would be our view up until the brief couple of hours of darkness. The next stop would be Monday morning in Skagway. We had reservations for the White Pass and Yukon Scenic Railway. This should not be missed, we booked the roundtrip ride. 20.4 miles up and then back, amazing to see.

 

This is what it looked like outside at 10 and 11 at night:

We stopped, the engines disconnected, and then reattached themselves to the other end for the ride back down. We waited maybe 10-15 minutes as the train with Radiance guests had to pass so it could do what we just did, it had been following us up the mountain.

The fog lifted for the trip back down:

We took a 30 minute horse and buggy ride around to see some more sights and to get a chance to rest our feet:
