EncyclopediaWhite PassWhite Pass, 2,888 ft (880 m) high, in the Coast Mts., on the Alaska–British Columbia border, NE of Skagway. A hazardous trail through the pass was made (1897) by prospectors going to the Klondike, as an alternate route to the Chilkoot Pass. Between 1898 and 1900 the White Pass and Yukon Railway was built from Skagway to White Horse, Yukon, to provide transportation from the Pacific tidewater to the Yukon valley. The railway suspended service in 1982. The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 6th ed. Copyright © 2007, Columbia University Press. All rights reserved. More on White Pass from Infoplease:
