First thing…riding on the train!Took the 3-hour trip to the summit No electronic tickets here! Had to go in here to get a physical ticket hahaGot a window seat on the cliff side of the train so I did most of the photo and video work on the way up to the top from my seatSomebody’s following usOccasional glimpses of the river belowThe US border control building. It’s way on this side of the actual border since it’s pretty treacherous at the topBlack cross monument… a few who died during the laying of the railroad are buried thereTunnel!!The old bridge is pretty creepy in the fogFrom darkness to lightOne of the gold Rush trailsTrailer part two
Border crossing
Turning around at White Pass SummitSince I was now on the wrong side of the car, I went outside for some of the trip backTime lapses are funEspecially backwards and through tunnelsWave to the nice people on the other train!There’s a little Sasquatch figure here, but he goes by really fast so you might not see himSkagway RiverAt Denver stop, they left an old caboose there so that backpackers can use it for shelterVisited lots of Klondike Gold Rush sitesIt was incredibly hard for the prospectorsBeautiful old piano kept in very nice conditionSkagway had lots of bars back thenI sat at one of the current bars hereIn order the fish and chips, which were awesomeThe cabin of the founder of SkagwayAnd then his house when he got rich after the gold rushEveryone involved with this project is certified insaneThere is no plumbing in the building and never was. Jane was put here to scare people.Skagway was swarming with people, here from cruise ships.Reid fallsI want to go climb in the cave, but I didn’tCool old cemetery Soapy Smith. Conman Shot by the guy with the huge monument Who was also a conman apparently The trailhead for the Chilkoot trail, one that many prospectors took and died on and you can still take. But hopefully not die on. Went to the historic Dyea site. Boomtiwn during the rush but now mostly gone back to nature So quiet here.
