Day 03 - 06 Hiking the Chilkoot Trail
You will hike the Chilkoot Trail from Dyea over the Chilkoot Pass to Lake Bennet. Stretched to all along the trail and over the pass are numerous artifacts of the Klondike Gold Rush. You will pass through the remains of old trail stops such as Canyon City, Sheep Camp, The Scales, The Golden Stairs and Happy Camp. After 35 miles Lake Bennet will be reached. This Lake was once bustling with activity. On May 29, 1898, within 48 hours of the lake shedding its winter ice cover, a fleet of 7,200 primitive home made boats departed toward the Klondike gold fields. At day 6 a float plane will pick us up by late afternoon for a spectacular flight back from Lake Bennet to Whitehorse. Accommodation at the River View Hotel
