Description

Klondike Trail: North to the Yukon PB 2007 Alaska Geographic W4. Klondike Trail: North to the Yukon . Alaska Geographic, 2007. Spiral bound softcover, 48 pages, color and b&w photos. Concise pictorial history of the historic route used during the Klondike Gold Rush (1897–1899) by stampeders traveling from the Southeast Alaska coast—most famously via Skagway over the White Pass (and also nearby routes like Chilkoot Pass )—to reach Canada’s Yukon and the Klondike goldfields. It was a rugged, often deadly journey across steep mountain passes, then onward by river and lake travel toward Dawson City. Today, parts of the route are preserved and interpreted through sites such as Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park .
