It's 8 miles to the old townsite of Dyea, where you'll possibly spot seals, eagles, and bears along the way. It was here that 1898 Gold Stampeders left on the Chilkoot Trail on their way to Dawson City, Yukon. It is here today, that you'll see and learn about Dyea history, pre and post-gold rush. You may choose to walk the mile-long loop around the old townsite or hike up the Chilkoot Trail as far as you'd like to, while learning about the 10,000 people who passed through here in search of gold and the flora and fauna of the area.
