Introduction: Looking for a real hiking adventure? The Chilkoot Trail is the original Alaska and Yukon adventure. Not just a trail, but a cultural corridor; the trail that was made famous by the legions of gold miners travelling to Dawson City in 1898, had been in use for thousands of years by coastal Tlingit traders travelling to the Yukon interior with goods from the coast to trade with inland tribes. The discovery of gold near Dawson City in 1898 brought some 30,000 gold miners to Skagway all headed inland to find fame and fortune in the Klondike. These hearty travelers carried their gear and their dreams over some of the most rugged terrain in Western North America. On our Chilkoot Trail hiking tour, you’ll retrace the steps of those native traders and Klondike Gold Rushers with a lighter load and a spring in your step as you experience the unique history and incredible grandeur of Alaska’s coastal mountains, while seeking your own treasure; that of adventure and personal accomplishment.
