They definitely kept us entertained during the various segments of our excursion. The train ride is a must when you are in Skagway. The views are incredible, indescribable, breathtaking! We learned much about the history of the areas we drove through on both the bus and train. We took so many photos and videos! The best part of our trip was that we were allowed to stand on the platform during nearly the entire train ride. We were in the caboose so nothing was behind us besides the incredible scenery. Highly recommend Chilkoot Charters.

We would definitely recommend them.

Booking is easy from the cruise app. Check-in was super easy as well. Not too much waiting to board and water was provided for the trip. As we did just the White Pass and did not include the Yukon portion we did not need our passports. We also did not like the idea of a 7 hour train ride. This ride ended up being one of the highlights of the trip. We all huddled in the front of the same car and took turns out in the platform. The views were breathtaking. The narration provided gave a heads up for specifics to look out for. The miners crushed by a boulder. The hanging glacier we passed. The wooden bridge we would climb over. Very informative. Zero complaints. Zero regrets. One thing everyone in the ship would say is that Alaska in general is indescribable, after this journey through the White Pass, I most certainly agree.

Two stops are briefly made, outside town that provides a nice overlook of Skagway and at the other at the Gold Rush Cemetery where you get to visit the grave site of the one an only Soapy Smith. Tips: - Watch out for the seats over the wheels as the hump will take away much valuable leg room if your on the taller side - Use the facilities prior to the tour. Though at about the halfway mark at the overlook, there is a public toilet there; however, it will eat into you time to look at the view as there usually is a line

She was our tour guide, bus driver, and storyteller, and was a total professional! She managed to weave the historical tale of Skagway with the town of today seamlessly, all while driving the antique streetcar, and chatting us up as if she was our friend or some folksy Hal Holbrook. At one point, she sang her version of Home on the Range while backing up the trolley car and parking it. I've never seen anyone perform any better than she did that morning. Seriously. Totally believable. I highly recommend the tour and Kylie as your guide.

Before we got back on our cruise ship, we saw that the museum was still open and wandered in. It was the late afternoon, so it wasn't too crowded. We were able to go through the exhibits and read through the signage without too many other people crowding around. And we also caught the last showing of the short documentary in the theater (4:00 PM start time), which lasted about 30 minutes. We learned a lot about the Alaskan Gold Rush from this movie. The entire experience was free. In the lobby, there are rangers to answer any questions, a small gift shop, and most importantly, a clean publish bathroom!

The museum is run by the National Park Service and does a great job of bringing the history to life. I especially enjoyed the film explaining how the discovery unfolded and how it transformed the region almost overnight. It's incredible to imagine the hardship people went through to get there in search of gold. Even Jack London made it up to the Klondike when he was only 20 years old, which adds another interesting layer to the story. Overall, a very well-presented and informative experience that's definitely worth a visit -- It's free.

The Lodge was located right off the small dock. They had a quite spacious land around the lodge, and even thought it was grey and misty out, we could still see across the water and a few cruise ships. As soon as we entered the lodge, it was so warm and welcoming, it was great! They offered mimosa, and of course, we didn't say no. They also had other drinks like Alaskan Beer, which my hubby also had in addition to the mimosa. After a nice mimosa, the "naturalist" staff took us for a quick walk outside. Then, we followed the guide and the wooden signs towards the waterfall. It was not very far, and we could hear the gushing water from nearby distance. Once we arrived at the Waterfall Grotto, it was so powerful and strong, it reminded me of a Seinfeld Show when George (a.k.a. Marine Biologist) said "The sea was angry that day my friends"...LOL. Even our guide was amazed at its powerful flow, he said that it is normally more calm, but with the rain, it has become a monster. After a nice little walk to the waterfall, we went on a rainforest hike. The guide took us to the top of the hill, we got to see another waterfall, also powerful and beautiful. The view from up here was really nice, nothing but nature. After the hike, we returned to the lodge, and it was time for Dungeness crab and shrimp boil! The staff had it all cooked up in one pot, and was just getting them onto a HUGE bowl. It was oh-so-good-for-your-soul food! Then, it was time for dessert. They had big marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate, calling out for S'more lovers, and decadent double chocolate brownies. We learned a lot about the rich history about Burro Creek, and the beautiful nature surrounding the area. We took in lots of fresh air and delicious food, and had loads of fun! This was THE best excursion that we took during our Alaskan Cruise.

Klondike Mike was our tour guide and really made the railway experience over the top. Incredibly informative, personable, and fun tour guide. Enjoyed how he interacted with the group individuals, especially when he spoke engaging our 8 year old daughter when talking how these experiences will last a life time, the importance of memories, etc. Dredge Town gold panning was corny, but fun fun. The only downside was how the actors let you know multiple times before you ever start panning to expect miniscule amounts which really breaks the illusion of the gold rush and panning. The sled talk was great and the dogs were fun to watch. They dogs only ran one lap around the track, it would have been nice to see them go a bit more since there is not a lot of space to view them run the view is likely to be obstructed for many in the group. Lots of cuddle time with the puppies and a lot of interaction with the adult dogs.
