OVERVIEW
Ride a vintage train that once carried miners into the gold fields of the Canadian wilderness. During your one-way train to the summit, you will view incredible scenery while your guide shares colorful stories about the history of the gold rush. Upon arrival in Fraser, British Colombia, you'll board your motorcoach for the return trip to Skagway. Before ending back in town, you'll stop at the gold Rush cemetery. The first cemetery in Skagway, this is the final resting place for gold rush characters such as kingpin Soapy Smith and promoter Martin Itjen, who caused a stir by chaining the world’s largest gold nugget to a tree.
