Chilkoot Hiker Service

Both sides of the border on the Chilkoot Trail will reopen in June 2025. Please note that full trail hiking from the US to Canada is not permitted in 2025. Hikers will not be allowed to cross the border due to the trail not being an official point of entry. Day hikes and overnight hiking on the Canadian side are permitted from Bennett and require advance permit reservations through Parks Canada. WP&YR will be asking for permit confirmation before issuing train tickets in/out of Lake Bennett.

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 $22 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.
