Chilkoot Trail

The world's longest outdoor museum. The Chilkoot Trail is a 53km (33-mile) legendary route that spans from Dyea, Alaska, across the Chilkoot Pass into British Columbia, Canada. It follows the exact path of the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush, where 'stampeders' were forced by the North-West Mounted Police to carry a ton of supplies across the summit in multiple trips. Today, the trail is littered with rusted stoves, leather boots, and broken machinery left behind over a century ago. You transition from coastal rainforest to the stark alpine 'Golden Stairs' and finally into the boreal forests of the Canadian north. It is a profound intersection of history and wilderness.

The Overland Track is a 65km point-to-point alpine traverse through the heart of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. Running from Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair, the route passes through dramatic glaciated valleys, ancient rainforests, and high moorlands. Under the management of Parks & Wildlife Service Tasmania, the trail offers a deep connection to Tasmania's unique natural heritage, including the endemic King Billy Pine and high dolerite peaks. The route consists of a mix of well-maintained boardwalks, exposed rocky ridges, and forested sections that can become muddy during sustained rainfall.
