So if you drive, rent a car, or get a ride, come on down, it’s one of the most scenic drives in North America. From Whitehorse, Yukon territory, Canada: Bus/taxi/private ride option with the White Pass Yukon Route Railway of part way. This is because the rail only runs in the summer and only as far as Carcross or Frasier. So a portion of the ride would be by bus from Whitehorse to Carcross or Frasier.
