The Summit, White Pass & Yukon Route
|
As we transitioned to the summit, the trees gave way to low shrubs, rocks, and patches of snow.
|
Before there was a train, there was a foot trail that led over the summit to the gold fields of the Yukon.
That trail was used in 1898.
|
A mountain lake had been formed by melting snow. This was the first of two small lakes and one large lake that
we saw.
|
The forest on the Yukon side of the summit. This was the middle of three lakes.
|
Flags marked the border between the U.S. and Canada. Because we were not allowed to leave the train at
the Yukon stop, we were never technically in Canada.
|
In the old days, the border was manned by members of the North West Mounted Police
|
The end of the train stopped and parked on the Canadian side of the Yukon
