Description
This trail is an amazing way to experience the history of the Klondike Gold Rush. It begins in the ghost town of Dyea and makes it was up through the Alaskan wilderness. The hardest part was The Scales which is summiting Chilkoot Pass. It also has incredible views of towering mountains, glaciers, and stunning valleys. This trail then leads into Canada and you make your way to Bennett, an old gold miners town. This is the best backpacking trail I've been on yet!!

Directions to Hike
Skagway is the nearest city which is right next to Dyea. Just go to the trail head by asking directions.(Basically, I have no idea.)
