Chilkoot Trail

• The Klondike Gold Rush started travel through this passage.
  • People thought they could get gold.
    • Rich landowners took an alternate route by sea and bought all of the land.
    • Nobody could get any gold.
• Now a national park
• Spans 33 miles
  • Would take three months to travel due to the need to carry 2000 pounds from Seattle up to Dawson
    • People would establish caches of supplies
    • Mounties would not allow people across the border unless they had "enough" supplies
• "Longest Museum in the World"
  • Gets this title because of how many artifacts are still on the trail.
