Here’s a gallery of photos from the Chilkoot Trail, which I wrote about in Hiking the Chilkoot last week.
The Trail Center in Skagway, where we picked up our pass. 
We took a shuttle to the railhead in Dyea.
Bridge to Canyon City – one person at a time! Canyon City had been a miner’s town.
Rusted boiler from Canyon City days. 
Skeleton of a boat, with bone.
Snug accommodations. 
Privies 
Wash pit.
Crossing a bog 
Crossing a stream 
On the Canadian side of the pass in sub-arctic terrain.
Final day and farewell photo of people we met on the trail. 
Train back to Skagway – possibly scarier than the bridge to Canyon City.

What do you make of the bones? Horse?
Yes, probably horse bones. Prospectors had it bad, but the horses probably had it worse.
Yup, that train ride would have done it for me!
Pictures? Nice nice nice!
Thanks!
