Train Ride 1
The Trial of 98. This was the one of the trail's that the miners would take to get into the Yukon. Many lives and also pack animals were lost on this trail. As you can see the trail is not very wide and there was not room for two pack animals to pass each other. So someone would have to have theirs step aside. They men were required to have 1 ton of supplies, before they were allowed across the border into Canada. They would take about 40 trips to get all the needed supplies from Skagway to the Border.
