Klondike Gold Rush
“The Chilkoot Pass, spring 1898. A line of stampeders trudges up a steep snow staircase carved into the mountain. Foreground shows men bent under hundred-pound packs in the famous Golden Staircase queue; midground reveals tents at the Scales and abandoned outfits scattered along the slope; the Coastal Range looms behind a long line that disappears into the Klondike clouds.”
