Alkan Air was the charter that our Earthwatch crew took to and from MP 222 in the Northwest…read moreTerritories of Canada on our recent "Climate Change at Arctic's Edge" trip with Dr. Pete Kershaw of the University of Alberta. On the way out, we flew with Pilot Rick Nielson on a deHavilland DHC-3T Otter. The flight over featured stunning views of the mountains and some impressive overflights of an alpine lake and a few mining camps. I was impressed how smooth and safe the flight was and how quickly Rick got the plane in the air in Whitehorse and down again on the gravel landing strip at MP 222. On the way back, Pilot Jeff took us through the MacKenzie Pass, over Ross River and through the mountains, often in some rain. That flight was also smooth and safe and this time I got to sit in the cockpit and watch and listen to it all from this very interesting perspective. Alkan Air also has a nice comfortable passeger lounge and a handy shuttle service to get you to and from Whitehorse just before or after your flight.

The White Pass and Yukon Route is a Canadian and U.S. Class II narrow gauge railroad linking the…read moreport of Skagway, Alaska, with Whitehorse, the capital of Yukon. An isolated system, it has no direct connection to any other railroad. Equipment, freight and passengers are ferried by ship through the Port of Skagway, and via road through a few of the stops along its route. This is primarily a tourist route and although the tracks go to Whitehorse, you have to be bused farther down to board the train at either Fraser BC or Carcross Yukon. The Whitehorse Train Station itself is pretty cool and is certainly waiting for the day when passengers come here more directly.

This is pretty freaking awesome!…read more it is a long train ride but well worth it. You board at an old fashioned station, filled with souvenirs and remnants of the past. And you get on this very awesome older looking train, and are served some railway water in cute little bottles. Going through 2 countries, 2 provinces and 1 state, this ride is breathtaking. The passage through the mountains is an absolute great experience as well as crossing the rickety looking suspension bridge. My favorite part is the RCMP post near the top of a mountain at the end of a route. You go so high up there is often still snow. The speed of the train is great and the scenery never gets boring. And you are traveling the old gold rush route (complete with creepy gravestones). How cool is that? This is a must-do attraction.

They said I had driven on the road for 33 hours, which was complete BS. Customer service is awful and their reviews seem to suggest these extra charges aren't uncommon. Never again, Budget.

When we arrived at the airport yesterday we were told there was no car for us as we had cancelled it yesterday. Knowing we hadn't I called AMA (who we booked through) and they said it still looked confirmed on their end. AMA called the local budget manager. They said it was clear he would not try to help us but he did admit his office cancelled yesterday as they had overbooked. AMA tried very hard to help us so I have no complaint with them. But the Budget office here in Whitehorse is very sketchy and has no problem lying to your face. I would strongly recommend people avoid using Budget.

Booked via Norwegian Encore for May 6, 2026, departure 12:00pm, as a solo and had the fare…read morediscounted by $50 because of my package excursion credit. The day was dry, clear, but blustery and our ship was the only cruise ship scheduled in port that day, normally 3 to 4 cruise ships are docked each morning for the day. The train accessed a rail spur allowing boarding near the ship, but the terminal in town is not a long distance if lacking mobility issues. Each car has outside viewing areas, and clean bathrooms, but unlike the staff, guests are not allowed to move between cars. If you spy an issue with your fellow rail car guests upon boarding like small screaming children I would change cars quickly after boarding. Even though water was provided with my fare I would suggest packing water jugs or bottles, and some nibbles ( I packed some yummy freshly baked cookies from a lounge on my ship) for the 3 hour ride, inexpensive snack boxes were sold on the return trip from the summit as were White Pass & Yukon Route ball caps for $15. Windows are large, but if you want the river view as you ascend the 20 mile climb to the summit then sit on the left side, when returning the right side faces the chasm. Ascending and Descending you should pass several White Pass Rail Trains so wave at your fellow tourists. Overall a nice experience for me, with great views. This is a seasonal experience that mirrors the Alaska cruise season, and it takes weeks to prepare the rail for each season.

Beautiful and Historic Ride, Worth the Experience! I have to…read moreadmit, I started this experience feeling a little stressed. We were sailing on the Star Princess and needed to be back on the ship by 4:30 PM, but our White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad train was supposed to arrive at 1:00 and didn't actually arrive until 1:25. Since it's about a three-hour ride, I was worried we might not make it back in time for sail away. Thankfully, we did make it back on time! As soon as we got on the train, though, I was able to relax and really enjoy the experience. It truly felt like stepping back in time. The narration throughout the ride was fantastic and filled with fascinating historical facts. I had no idea how many people once hiked that route or how grateful everyone was when the railroad was finally built. The scenery was absolutely beautiful and the whole experience was unforgettable. One funny note: I've flown on planes and cruised on ships without ever getting motion sickness, but somehow I ended up getting train sick! The constant back-and-forth movement got to me, even though everyone else seemed completely fine. That was just me and definitely not the railroad's fault. Overall, this was such a unique and amazing experience, and I'm really glad we did it. If you're visiting Skagway, I would absolutely recommend the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad!
