Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park Tours, Alaska — sites, fees and cancellation alerts

Overview:

"GOLD! GOLD! GOLD! GOLD! screamed headlines that sent over 100,000 people on a quest to pull themselves and the nation out of a depression lasting over three years. But to strike it rich they would struggle against time, each other, and northern wilderness. The Klondike Gold Rush was a great human drama that captured the attention of the world, and brought many people to settle Alaska and the Yukon. Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park is a collection of sites throughout the town of Skagway, Alaska, and the surrounding area that preserves the trails, historic structures, artifacts, landscapes, and stories associated with the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897-1898.
