Chilkoot Trail

Six of us ladies hiked the Chilkoot Trail - the old stampeder trail used by the gold miners in 1898.  It was 33 miles and was absolutely beautiful!  (Stories and more pictures to follow.  I thought I would at least get a few pictures out there.)

June 6, 2012 - at the head of the Chilkoot Trail in Dyea, Alaska

Holly, Lee Ann, Tammy, Michelle, Loreen, and Samantha

I seem to never get enough pictures of water, rocks, or moss...

 

Day 3 of the hike - from Sheep Camp to Happy Camp - going into Canada at the summit.  The "rock slide" on the upper left/middle is "The Golden Staircase."  (More about that at a later date...)

July 10 - at the end of the trail in Bennet-

6 ladies very proud of their accomplishments!

Also, looking forward to a hot meal (that is not made in a bag by pouring

hot water onto dehydrated food) at the railroad station.
