Dyea,AK - Skagway County - 1898 - Chilcoot Pass Photograph :
Photograph of Chilkoot Trail, with hundreds of "packers ascending summit of Chilkoot Trail, copyright 1898" printed at bottom of photo. Approximately 6 x 7". To get to the Klondike Gold Rush of the mid-1890s, the most popular routes were through Dyea and over the Chilkoot Pass or through Skagway and over the White Horse Pass. The White Horse Pass seemed deceptively easy by prospectors during the Klondike Gold Rush, especially when compared to the Chilkoot Pass, which had earned the nickname "the meanest 32 miles in the world."
