Chilkoot Pass

Chilkoot Pass is a high mountain trail on the border between Alaska and Canada, historically used during the Klondike Gold Rush in the late 1890s. Prospectors traveling to claim gold had to cross this rugged, snow-covered route to reach the Klondike River. The pass is notable for its steep, challenging terrain and the "Golden Stairs," a series of wooden steps built to help climbers haul their supplies. Today, it’s a historic route and popular trekking destination, symbolizing the perseverance of those who sought fortune in the gold rush era.
