Gold Rush Trail

The Gold Rush Trail is a historic route that prospectors and pioneers traveled during the mid-19th century gold rushes in North America, particularly the Fraser River Gold Rush in British Columbia, Canada. This trail connected towns and mining areas, facilitating the movement of gold seekers, supplies, and goods. Travelers faced harsh conditions, including rough terrain and extreme weather, as they sought fortune. Today, the trail is recognized for its historic significance, and it attracts tourists who explore the landmarks and natural beauty along the route, while also reflecting on the impact of the gold rush on the region's development.
