CHILKOOT PASS
News of the sensational discoveries of gold
in Alaska in 1896-98, startled the world. Fifty
thousand gold hunters from far and wide
stampeded into Alaska. Distance and inac-
cessibility of the field, the hardships and
vicissitudes only tended to make the diggings
more attractive. To cross the divide over
back-breaking, hazardous Chilkoot Pass, a
climb of 11 miles, is one of the outstanding
memories of a glamorous past.
