3. White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad

Where: Alaska

Why We Love It: The White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad in Alaska offers a stunning combination of mountains, wildflowers, and a train ride you’ll never forget. Established in the late 19th century, this railroad ascends about 3,000 feet, providing passengers with breathtaking cliffside views during its 20-mile journey through the scenic mountains. Even if the views get overwhelming, resist the urge to close your eyes: the stunning scenery is not to be missed!
