This video is well worth the price! Here's what you'll see:

WHITE PASS & YUKON

Take a ride on one of the few remaining narrow gauge railways in North America, The White Pass and Yukon Railway, from Skagway up to the White Pass summit. From the summit, you'll explore the city of Whitehorse and the surrounding area including the mighty Yukon River. You'll also visit the Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park and the small cabin that once served as home for the famous poet, Robert Service.

GOLD RUSH COUNTRY

Take The Skeena from Jasper, high in the Canadian Rockies, along the rugged Fraser River to the Pacific Coast; and the legendary narrow gauge White Pass and Yukon Railway from Skagway to Whitehorse. Savour the spirit that created the Klondike Gold Rush and learn about the Gitskan and their wonderful totem poles and carvings.

THE CARIBOO PROSPECTOR

Climb aboard the Cariboo Prospector and journey up the magnificent Fraser Canyon. Visit a dude ranch and the old restored mining town of Bakerville. Peek into the past at Revelstoke and take a look at the great locomotive-The Mikado.
