All Aboard the White Pass Rail -Take a scenic train ride from Alaska to BC, & The Yukon #trainride

Hop aboard the White Pass Rail when you cruise into the port of Skagway, Alaska, USA. @cruisinjules This video discusses why you would want to take the scenic journey, how to catch the train, the best seats, some fun facts, where you stop, the three main options for cruisers, and the menu (when applicable, i.e. if you book the 8-8 1/2 hour tour). You will see the interior of the train carriages, and some spectacular scenery as the train travels from sea level to the White Pass Summit, into northern B.C., Canada, and onwards into the Yukon Territory! There’s a stop along the way at the Chilkoot Trail, a National Park in Bennett, Canada. This area is only accessible by the White Pass Rail train, or by hiking the Chilkoot trail. The bus ride back from Carcross, Yukon Territory to Skagway is also reviewed. The tour can also be done in the reverse order where you take the bus to Carcross, and then the train back to Skagway.

If you know why the snow is red, way high up in the mountains, please comment. I am curious.
