Train Ride

One of the coolest parts of the trip was taking the White Pass & Yukon train ride up into the moutains in Skagway. The train went up 3,000 feet and at times it felt like you were literally along the edge of the cliff (probably because we actually were). It was a railroad built during the gold rush and was truly an engineering marvel. The views were amazing and the stories were incredible. I could not imagine being a part of the rush to Alaska. We saw another glacier on the train ride, but only for a few seconds. It was an amazing experience to go on this train ride through the mountains. It was SO WINDY in Skagway, I almost lost my hat twice.
