Hope you enjoy it.

Road update

No, no food offered. We just went to the top, reversed the engine, and came back down. It was a 3 hour ride. They also offer a 4 hour ride that goes farther. Maybe that's where the pies are.
Used to be some good pie where the train stops at the top of White Pass. Is there still?
ReplyDeleteAMHS ferry is an option if the road closes again. Should be about $400 from Skagway to PR and take something like 2-2.5 days.
If your travel plans take you through eastern WA our offer still stands.
