Chilkoot Hiker Service

An unforgettable experience!

Experience both of the famous Gold Rush trails! Every year 3,000 hikers recreate this great trip by hiking the Chilkoot Trail.

As you board the train, you can reward yourself with a boxed lunch while taking in the sights along the rail line on your way to Skagway or Carcross. Boxed lunches are $20 per person and should be pre-purchased at the time of booking space aboard the train.

After your accomplishment over the famed Chilkoot Trail it’s a real treat to see the splendor of the historic White Pass Trail from the comfort of our train.

Parks Canada and the U.S. National Park Service require that all hikers purchase permits to hike the Chilkoot Trail. Reservations are highly recommended.* Denotes trips that cross the border.

While we do permit dogs on our Chilkoot Hiker Service trains, we unfortunately are not able to permit dogs on any of our connecting bus services. Exceptions are made for service animals.

If you require some or all of your gear to travel without you, you must arrange for someone other than White Pass to take the gear through US/Canadian Customs for you. White Pass is unable to transport unaccompanied freight across the US/Canada border.

• This applies to gear/backpacks/canoes/kayaks that would be traveling south from Bennett to Skagway and also gear/backpacks/canoes/kayaks that would be traveling north from Skagway to Bennett.
• However, White Pass IS able to transport unaccompanied gear between Carcross and Bennett & Fraser and Bennett, for a fee.
• If you are sending gear into or out of Bennett, you or someone you designate must load/unload your freight onto the train. White Pass staff is not able to load/unload it for you, nor are we able to store it.

Please note that all train reservations should be made through White Pass & Yukon Route and all Chilkoot Trail reservations should be made through Parks Canada.

We ask that hikers book their Chilkoot Trail permits first prior to calling WP&YR for their train reservations.
