    Canada again, then W P & Y R

    September 11, 2018 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C

    After the dogs, the bus took us over the White Pass at 3200’ to Fraser. So, we left the US and entered Canada (briefly).

    On the vintage train back - the W P & Y R (White Pass & Yukon Route), we more or less followed the White Pass route which was the final breakthrough for the hopeful (but mostly hopeless) tens of thousands who tried to bet to the Klondike in the last years of the 19th century.

    The scenery was absolutely spectacular (at least up with the Glacier Express), and photos really couldn’t do it justice - we have had atypically settled weather and fantastic visibility. Here’s a link for more:
