THEN THEN
One ton of goods and a hard grind up the Chilkoot Trail got you into the
Klondike. Gold seekers heading to the Klondike in 1898 were required to pack
and carry their goods over the Chilkoot Pass. The list of supplies required for
each man included 400 pounds of flour, 100 pounds of beans, and 100 pounds of
sugar, to name just a few. The average man took about 40 trips to haul his ton of
supplies 33 miles to Bennett. That’s 2,600 exhausting miles over the icy trail,
up the golden stairs at the summit, through blizzards, and sub-zero conditions.
Most gold-seekers took at least three months to complete the task.
