After the surprise of finding scrambled egg and bacon in the box, we got our tickets and got on the train. The journey started at 7.45am and wound up the White Pass route. This was the first time in 4 years this across the border day trip has run. After a few hours we reached Bennett Lake, the end of the Chilkoot Trail. The train stopped and we walked around for 20 minutes before reboarding and continuing along the shoreline of the lake to Carcross.
