The trip began by flying to Seattle, Washington where many of the stampeders from the gold rush of 1898 began their long journey to the Klondike gold fields. While in Seattle, the Scouts toured downtown, went to the top of the Space Needle, visited REI’s main story and enjoyed a fantastic seafood dinner on the waterfront. Next, they flew to Juneau, the | capital of Alaska. Their first step was Mendenhall Glacier and then it was off to tour the city and visit the Alaska Museum. The Scouts then boarded the Alaska Ferry and traveled the In- side Passage to Skagway where they stayed overnight at the Ser- geant Preston Inn before depart- ing for the Chilkoot Trail. Five days were spent hiking and camping on the trail. The highlight of the trail for many was summiting the trail at Chilkoot Pass. On this day, the crew had to climb the Scales, a very steep rocky portion of the trail which, coupled with an ele- vation gain that day of nearly 3,.000 feet, proved to be chal- lenging. At Chilkoot Pass, the crew crossed into Canada and was welcomed by a ranger who pro- vided a much-appreciated snack and a talk about the backcountry and avalanche safety. Permanent snowpack exceeding 10 feet thick, icy cold streams and the natural beauty of Alaska and Canada added to the adventure in Canada. The trail ended at Bennett Lake with a hot meal at the train depot and an overnight stay in a camp that provided the opportu- nity to see a large bear and a bush floatplane landing and taking off. The next day the crew return- ed to Skagway via the Yukon and "White Pass Railroad; which took it through breathtaking moun- + tain scenery. Then it was back to Juneau via ferry where the Scouts boarded six seat bush planes for an exciting flight Scouts and leaders from Boy Scout Troop 281 of the Dallas United Methodist Church hiked the historic Chilkoot Trail in Southeast Alaska last summer.
