| Chilkoot Trail,
Heritage Route to the Klondike The Chilkoot Trail runs
from Dyea in Alaska to Bennett in British
Columbia and represented the first major
challenge to the prospectors that were
drawn to the Yukon by the gold strike at
Bonanza Creek. The trail was difficult
enough, but it was turned into an
incredible test of strength, stamina and
fortitude by the requirements of the
RCMP, that each man entering Canada bound
for the gold fields, bring with him a ton
of supplies. If your interested in
hiking, backpacking or even just visiting
this historic site, you be well served to
get the book before you go. Note:
The Chilkoot Trail is usually associated
with the Yukon, but actually runs from
Alaska into British Columbia. |
