Hiking the Chilkoot Trail is a breathtaking journey through history and wilderness, retracing the footsteps of gold rush prospectors across rugged terrain. The trail winds through lush rainforests, past rushing rivers, and up steep, rocky slopes before reaching the iconic Golden Stairs, a grueling climb over boulder-strewn tundra. As the landscape transitions from dense forests to alpine tundra, the remote beauty of the trail is awe-inspiring, with towering peaks and glacial valleys stretching in every direction. The sense of history is ever-present, with abandoned relics from the Klondike Gold Rush scattered along the route. Crossing the Canadian border into the Yukon, the journey is both a physical challenge and a deeply rewarding adventure through one of North America’s most legendary trails.
