highland2 Posted May 31, 2009 #1 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Hi:), We are scheduled to be in Haines with our HAL ship on June 17. I have booked the White Pass Scenic Railway that takes us to Skagway. We then have time to shop in Skagway before returning to Haines on the train. Has anyone done this or have any thoughts about this excursion?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginjer2911 Posted June 1, 2009 #2 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I could be wrong, but I don't think that there is a train that goes from Haines to Skagway. The White Pass Railroad runs from Skagway to Fraser (and sometimes Lake Bennet) and then back down to Skagway. I think the only way to get to Skagway from Haines is a ferry.

Yukon Posted June 1, 2009 #3 Share Posted June 1, 2009 ginjer is right - you go to Skagway by ferry and the up the the White Pass Summit and back on the train. It's rated one of the top train trips in the world - I've been on it many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highland2 Posted June 1, 2009 Author #4 Share Posted June 1, 2009 You are correct. We take the ferry to Skagway and then board the train. Did you enjoy the train ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon Posted June 1, 2009 #5 Share Posted June 1, 2009 It's fabulous - that's why I go on it over and over and over again :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
