On the Bennett Scenic Journey is there time in Carcross to go in the post office and get the passport stamp??

[bonvoyagie]

On the Northbound train there is time after the train pulls in before we left in the van - you could indeed go and stamp your passport - it was a DIY operation on the sidewalk - there is also a place to get an ice cream cone for that afternoon snack :)

[chrystine]

Thanks for this info! Is there any advantage/preference in taking train or bus first?

[bonvoyagie]

On the Bennett Scenic Journey your choice is made for you depending on the day of the week - Wed, Thur, and Sat you will take the train first - on Tue and Fri you will take the train back - the trip is not available on Sun or Mon.

 

As for the other trips that train only between Fraser and Skagway it really does not matter. Sometimes there are more animals to see in the afternoon vs the morning, sometimes there is more fog/clouds in the morning - it is really hard to predict. Last summer I rode the Bennett Scenic Journey while my DW took the PM Summit RT train - she saw both goats and a bear - I saw neither on the morning train.

Yes, you will have enough time to get the passport stamped, have some ice cream and look around the general store. Actually, when we were there, they had the passport stamp out and you self-stamped your passport.

None that I am aware of.

Thanks for the input :)

chilkoot is a great tour co. and i use them when i am in skagway :)

[Swayde]

I am so glad I found this thread. I do believe this is the perfect solution to my desire to see the sites, ride a train and visit a dog sled camp and ride a sled, even if it's on wheels.

For the "Discover the Yukon" there is an option to take rail one way and bus the other or you can have bus both ways. is thier an advantage to taking the train over the boss as the train costs more money?

From Skagway to Summit you are on the opposite side of the canyon from the road - so you get a different view - you also get to hear the same history story from a slightly different point of view :D.

Looking at the prices is it with almost an extra 70$ pp to take the train? ( 2 people total of 140$)

sorry, i cant help you out on that one. i did the train up and bus (mini van ) down. you could call them and find out . :)

the train is a great way too slowly go up or down the mt. you can stand out on the platform and get some great veiws and photo shots because you are closer too the mt and old mine remains. . they have a narrator that tells you about things you pass. it is a fun thing too do. for me it was worth the extra money.

[bonvoyagie]

That is a good price as the RR is asking 82.00 pp for a one way ticket between Fraser and Skagway :eek:.

 

Chilkoot could also be factoring in the fact that they will not have to run you between the two towns.

[enderwarrior]

Thank you for the suggestions I think We will take the Train

[Swayde]

Only 3 more weeks until we get to experience this tour. I'm really excited about it =)

 

We booked the Yukon Rail & Bus Tour w/15 minute dog sled. Departing at 8:30 which I believe was bus up, train down. I can't wait!

[bearette]

Is there an age limit for the dog cart? Also is there a charge for under two? ( I have one year old twins.)

You need to contact them directly, but, frankly, this is a LONG tour, with NO way out. You would be far better off, just going on your own, with a rental car, perhaps.

[bearette]

I like the idea of the train but was confused by the train website. I could easily walk to the depot and take the bus back, but I thought the kids might like puppies. ( they love our pet.)

 

I think i am just getting more questions. Is the dog place not on the train route?

The Caribou Crossing attraction with the dog cart rides is about 50 miles past Fraser, the end of the summit train.

My daughter is prone to motion sickness. Will the bus ride be a problem?

 

Thanks.
