Creator's Key Takeaways

the white pass summit round-trip train ride and it was breathtaking especially when you look out the window and see a sheer drop off very close to the tracks

my recommendation book the round-trip summit train ride for earlier in the day or later in the afternoon depending on the timing of your day in port and hike one of several trail systems right near skagway's historic district

we had about four hours to explore and eat lunch before our excursion started so we made our way out of the port area and into town to explore

the tender tickets were supposed to start being issued at 8 am the hubs went down at 7 15 am to wait in line which was already 50 people deep by that time

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book the round-trip summit train ride for earlier in the day or later in the afternoon to maximize time for hiking.
Plan for about four hours total for the White Pass Railway excursion, including waiting and boarding time.
Try Alaskan fry bread when exploring Skagway.
