Alaska train shore excursion 2024

[Weggle.11]

We are sailing with Holland America August 31 2024.  We're interested in doing the White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad 2.75 hr roundtrip.

There is a departure at 9 AM and 1 PM.  We're wondering if anyone has experience to know if one time is better than the other as far as weather is concerned - mostly fog.  I realize it can change from day to day but wondering if chances are better for possible fog to lift if we wait until the afternoon?

Any suggestions.

Thanks.

Check pricing but your might consider using Chilkoot. We did an amazing excursion with them. Their one of the most popular options in Skagway.

 

We opted for the morning bus up train down and it was great. Back into Skagway at noon that gave us time to have lunch and walk around the town.
