About This Location

Experience the historic Chilkoot Trail in Alaska. Plan your backcountry adventure with essential permit information for this legendary USFS managed site.

The Chilkoot Trail offers a legendary trekking experience through the heart of Alaskan history. As a federal site managed by the USFS, this location serves as the gateway to one of the most iconic wilderness routes in the region. The terrain is rugged and pristine, providing an immersive experience for those looking to traverse the same path taken by gold seekers over a century ago.

Camping here is a true backcountry experience, with sites designed to accommodate small tents on designated 10ft by 10ft pads. Please note that there are no hookups or modern utilities available, so campers must be prepared for a primitive stay. Permits are required for most of the season, and hikers must carefully plan their itinerary to select specific campgrounds and dates for their party.

This destination is best suited for experienced hikers and tent campers who are comfortable with self-supported wilderness travel. While the trail is steeped in history and natural beauty, the lack of traditional RV amenities means it is not designed for recreational vehicles. It is the perfect choice for adventurers seeking a challenging, authentic, and remote outdoor experience.
