Gold diggers climb the golden stairs on Chilkoot pass in Alaska, 1898.
Now part of downtown Bend Oregon the Railroad Trestle that used to exist in Shevlin Park. It was removed in 1957
Ever read what they had to do to get over the pass? To be allowed to cross, they had to have 1 or 2 tons of supplies per person. Which meant taking more than 20 trips over the pass. The book Klondike by Canadian historian Pierre Burton is amazing. I am sure that @Sean the Nailer knows who Pierre Burton is... He is required reading for Canuckianstanians. But a brilliant historian and writer.
Hard, Hard men and very few got rich. Many got dead.
Sirhr
Jack London wrote some excellent stories about the Alaska gold rush. Klondike Tales and others anthologies are filled with his incredible short stories written from his experiences.
I know all about it, I watch the film the far country! lol...
Here's a good read for you.

I keep asking the question but now I have the answer. I KNOW WHO WON THE COLD WAR AND IT WASN'T US!
The Time Tunnel.
The older I get the deeper into the woods I want to be.
These vids need to make a comeback again! 
Just a few days ago I watched Season 1 Episode 2 of Parker's Trail on Discovery+ showing their climb up this pass in November of 2016.
Um why?
