neverthought Posted February 11, 2008 Author #6 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Yukon or anyone in the know, Would we be seeing the same scenery if we drive to Emerald Lake vs. taking the Whitepass Railride? Neverthought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted February 11, 2008 #7 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Yukon or anyone in the know, Would we be seeing the same scenery if we drive to Emerald Lake vs. taking the Whitepass Railride? Neverthought Nope. The common views are only a few miles. The differences is the distance too. With the round trip train, it doesn't get into the Yukon, unless you book a combo train/bus tour specifically for the Yukon. (some buses are round trip summit- which is BC). The White Pass, is loaded with history, superior scenery and amazing engineering. The Klondike Highway was completed in the 70's. :) and is an extremely scenic road. The best gift you have here is Murray's WONDERFUL detailed guide http://www.***** Just fantastic if driving is your preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise junky joan Posted February 12, 2008 #8 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Is this a published item or only available by download? Should I buy both this and the Milepost and what is the difference? We will be doing a lot of driving on our Alaskan vacation and these look to be invaluable resources.
