Chilkoot Pass: A Hiker's Guide to the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park

by Archie Satterfield

Chilkoot Pass is indeed the most famous trail in the North, and Satterfield has written a book that is ideal for hikers and armchair travelers. It is history, adventure, and an excellent companion to the Klondike Gold Rush National Park¬ all in one. At no other time or place in recorded history did so many people voluntarily subject themselves to so much agony, misery, death and glory than in 1897-98 when countless thousands of stampeders crossed the Chilkoot pass on their way to the Klondike gold fields.
