"As seen on History Channel comes a new ""living history"" series that follows 4 men and 1 woman who retrace the historic route taken during the 1897 Klondike Gold Rush. Their amazing 10-week journey takes them along the infamous Chilkoot Trail, and to the gold fields near Dawson City. Our modern-day prospectors complete this journey with only the clothes, tools and resources of the era and carrying 3000 lbs. of provisions, giving them a true sense of the challenges faced in 1897.




In Episode Two the team continues to tackle the Chilkoot Trail with 3000 lbs. of period appropriate provisions. After resolving issues with the First Nations packers and after many long hard days climbing the notoriously steep Golden Staircase, they reach the Canadian border with all their goods but must pass an RCMP inspection before they are allowed into Canada. Continuing on to their new camp at historic Lake Lindeman, Andria is left behind by the men on the trail and is forced to walk the trail through grizzly bear country alone."
