Photos: Chilkoot Trail Flying into Skagway Those miners were strong guys! Start of the trail On my way So lush Good to have that boardwalk Artifacts everywhere The first campsite I wonder how many good meals were cooked on this old stove Those miners sure were industrious Bridge over glacial stream Trail through the woods Trying out my “go lite” umbrella Lots of waterfalls Love the little flowers Very green Historic hut Put your food and cooking gear in a bear proof container Beautiful It’s all uphill That’s where we are headed Camping platforms were good! Still green Going up Starting to see snow patches Following the stream Is there really a trail up there? Rejects from long ago Interesting artifacts along the trail That’s looking up where I am going? Photo along side the trail on the way up Into the mist Doesn’t show how steep it was Other hikers appeared out of the mist Through the rocks and snow Can’t see much in the mist There is still snow up here Still going up Where am I? Still going up In the mist – I think I am close to the top Snow and lakes At least the lakes were ice free Going up and down across the tops Trail into the mist Still snowy and cloudy Snow and water Even flowers up here Next campsite Lovely up here Camping up high Cooking shelter – it was warm and steamy Chilkoot – green Chilkoot – Rocky Still cold up there! Still in the snow I love bridges! Ptarmigan Pretty rough waters This was the river they rafted down Friendly (??) porcupine Sign about bears in the area Can you imagine rafting 1000 pounds of gear down that river? Remains of one of the boats On the trail Following the waters down Campsite (looks a bit like a yard sale!)
