Thoroughly enjoyed our time with them and the 150 minutes of site seeing by bike. Simply no better way to feel connected with the outdoor environment around you, view the scenery, slow down and listen to the roadside waterfalls, feel the fresh air breeze from the distant snowy jagged peaks, hear the birds. So relaxing and worth it!

What an amazing team at Sockeye Cycle!

I'll go in reverse, starting with the excursion. My meeting spot was at their location on Fifth; super easy to find. Upon my arrival, I was greeted by Clay, who would be my guide. He radio'd to Jeff what size bike I would need and all that good stuff. Whilst we were in the store, I learned about his background, his passion for adventures and Alaska. Not before long, we loaded into a shuttle with Jeff, who would drive us a few miles past the U.S. customs checkpoint to begin the tour. (Note: my tour had to be modified due to some things outside Sockeye's control -- aka, part of the train tracks undergoing maintenance.) We had a great chat on the drive up; it was like talking with friends. Once we got to the point of the bike start, there was a safety talk and a chance to ask any questions. I also learned that Jeff would meet us at a point a few miles away, just to ensure everything was good with the bikes, gear, etc. Sockeye does have windproof pants and gloves that you can use; I did end up taking them up on the gloves, as I quickly learned that mine were not great for wind. I truly appreciated that, otherwise my paws might've been a bit cold! I highly recommend this excursion, as you really get to enjoy the Klondike Highway and the outdoors. What I appreciated is that as a very small group, we were able to stop and take ample photos. Clay has a great knowledge of the area, the names of mountains, waterfalls, the valleys, etc., and is a brilliant guide. I feel confident that he could have answered all my questions, if I had more. I'm also grateful for his recommendation to walk out to Smuggler's Cove. I'd asked for how else I could spend my remaining time in Skagway and he'd suggested a wander out that way. (I also got to see him and some of the new guides heading out that way of a walk when I was on my way back. Love the fact that people do what they recommend!) For those looking to experience the area -- who appreciate the outdoors -- this is a must-do experience. Kuddos also to the Sockeye support staff, Bekah and Alex. They were great in communicating with me, letting me know that my original tour wouldn't be running as possible due to train track repairs, but gave me a few options for how we could make it right. I truly appreciate them for running this tour, even though with it being late April, it was a very intimate tour. I am very happy I did this experience when I did: I truly felt like the Klondike Highway was ALL MINE. Highly recommend if you're looking for a different way to see the area! Thanks for a wonderful experience in Skagway, Sockeye! 2025: 15/100

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!
