Alaska

By Travelog Editorial Team · Updated August 8, 2026

Alaska is live on Travelog with one city, Skagway, home to Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park. Entrance is completely free, with no pass required. During the 1897-98 gold rush, Canadian Mounted Police required every stampeder crossing into Yukon Territory to carry roughly a ton of food and supplies, enough to survive a full year, a rule enforced at checkpoints along the Chilkoot Trail.

The documented, government-enforced ton-of-goods requirement, and the genuinely brutal logistics behind it, are worth understanding before visiting, covered in full below.
