This 6.5-hour combo excursion includes a ride along the White Pass & Yukon Route Railway, a salmon bake at Liarsville Gold Rush Trail Camp, and cocktails at Red Onion Saloon. Hop in a vintage railcar for a journey along the “Railway of the World”, as you view sky-high mountains, plunging gorges, gushing waterfalls and tall evergreens along a narrow gauge railroad. In Fraser, BC you’ll hop off and take a motor coach through scenic valleys to the Liarsville Gold Rush Trail Camp. Meet costumed storytellers who perform a rousing melodrama about Alaska’s Klondike-era prospecting days. Here you’ll also learn how to pan for gold and savor an authentic salmon bake in true Alaskan style, complete with grilled wild salmon, baked chicken, salad, baked beans, cornbread and dessert. A short drive back into town leads you to the historic Red Onion Saloon, the city’s once-thriving brothel dating back to 1897. Follow the madams upstairs to the Bombay room to check out the bordello’s old relics and artifacts, whilst sipping on a complimentary glass of champagne. Cheers to the ultimate Skagway adventure.
