Water and Land Route

The vast majority of stampeders traveled by steamer from the West Coast up the Inside Passage to one of several Alaskan communities and then proceeded overland to the Yukon. Most went to Skagway or Dyea. From there they crossed the Coast Range on foot before navigating the upper reaches of the Yukon River to Dawson City. A few traveled from Haines over the Dalton Trail. Still others traveled up the Shikine River from Wrangoll. The so-called 'All American' route out of Valdez required crossing miles and miles of uncharted glaciers.
