RubiKon: Yukon Quest '09

Chilkoot Trail - Here they Come!

Today they begin the 33 mile trek upthe Chillkoot Trail; they expect to finish within 5 days. The trip back to the Toy House will be made via train. This trail is the gateway into the Yukon and was used by Tlingit First Nation traders and Klondike gold rush prospectors.

I look forward to seeing pictures from the trail. I hear that the scenery is spectacular!
