2007-09-03 10:19:04 ** Seattle ** All-Water Route

This route was physically the least difficult and the most expensive. Because of this, it became known as the 'Rich Man's Route.' An ocean-going steamer took stampeders to St. Michael, Alaska near the mouth of the Yukon River. There, stampeders transferred to riverboats and continued their journey up the Yukon River to Dawson City. Most stampeders who took this route during the first fall of the gold rush were stranded en route when the Yukon River froze for the winter. It was not for six months, when then the river thawed, that the trip to Dawson could by completed.
