Chilkoot Trail Part 1 - Arctic Brotherhood 2005 Trip

This is the trip that started it all. It's about three best friends on a historical adventure of great proportions. It begins just outside of Skayway, AK and ends in Lake Bennett, BC. The "highlight" was tackling the incredibly steep Chilkoot Pass on day 3 of our trip. It took everything we had to get over the pass and the weather was brutal. We collapsed at Happy Camp to recharge for day 4. You will see how this new chapter of the Arctic Brotherhood came to be.

Bonanza creek was oringinally called Rabbit Creek, but when gold was found at that creek, well they didn't want to say I found it on Rabbit Creek. So that is why they changed the name.

Great Job on the video! It looks like you had an incredible time. We hope to hike the trial in the summer of 2011. Just a little historical fact to add. New or amateur prospectors were called Cheechakos and experienced miners who had seen it all were called sourdoughs. Thanks for sharing your trip!

great video boys, my family of 10 hiked this in August 2010... {I get by w/a little help with my friends-great poignant tune), your hiking boots make there way over roots and mud, steel and wooden bridges, snow and ice, boulders and sand, glacier streams and hard pack tracks,, nevermind about the steepness, I highly recommended this journey, so now dismiss all your reasons why you can't make this hike and get making plans together.
