Denver Caboose
At Mile 6 of the railroad is this bright red caboose which hikers can reserve through the US Forest Service and spend a night or two. Inside there are five bunks, a table and a stove. Outside are commanding views of the surrounding Sawtooth Mountains and a 4.5-mile trail that leads to Denver Glacier and Upper Elway Falls.
Laughton Glacier
Glacier Station at Mile 14 of the White Pass and Yukon Route is little more than a sweeping curve in the tracks and a trail sign. But through the trees is a trail that leads to another US Forest Service cabin and then into the Laughton Glacier amphitheatre. This is as dramatic a place as any in Alaska, a powerful blend of craggy Sawtooth Range peaks and the fingers of ice that spill out of them to form the glacier at the bottom. Combining the train ride with the 1.5-mile hike to stay at the remote cabin makes this slice of Alaskan wilderness accessible to almost anybody.
