It is known for gold miners looking to strike it rich in the late 1800's and early 1900's.
But first things first. Fitness center stair master and Lotus Spa. It would be more relaxing in the quiet zone on the thermal beds if others didn't talk 100 miles an hour like they just had 10 cups of monster coffee. Geez. Did she not read the sign?
Okay, now on to the first excursion. The White Pass &Yukon Route Railroad.
It's called the "Scenic Railway of the World" linking Skagway with Yukon, Canada.
It's about 40 miles round trip and goes up to almost 3,000 foot elevation.
When you get to the top you have to switch from the left side to the right side so equal viewing opportunities for everyone. How do you do it? You have to lift the back of the seat up and flip it to the other side so you aren't sitting backwards. It goes past an old, historical cemetery a little too fast. I would definitely like to see that next time. ( See what I did there?)
It is a beautiful ride up with great views everywhere and nail biting ledges looking down but the only thing I guess that I didn't like is going back down is the same thing as going up.
So I tried to spend most of my time outside between the cars taking pictures because there you won't have the glare of the window and whatever those purple flowers were smelled unbelievable.
