The Yukon Trail, which crossed British Columbia, was the shortest route to the Klondike. Thousands of gold-crazed stampeders in '97 and'98 fought their way over the Chilkoot Pass to Lake Bennett. From here, at the headwaters of the Yukon River, they left by raft and boat for Dawson City. Their worn trails remain: milestones in the history of our province.
