Alaska & The Yukon 2009 - (Page 28) The Klondike Trail E C H O ES OF THE GOLD RUSH, TALES OF THE TRA I L The Klondike Trail reveals the gold rush drama of the 1890s — the mountains the Stampeders climbed, the rivers they rode, the boom towns they created and the goldfields they mined. It is a rich tapestry of rugged scenery and action-packed exploits. Holland America Line proudly celebrates the national parks and heritage sites that keep the Klondike era alive. On Tours 1–6, 27 & 28, receive a Klondike Trail souvenir book produced by the Alaska Natural History Association on behalf of Parks Canada and the National Park Service. The Last Grand Adventure With cries of “Gold in the Klondike!” an era unfolded in Alaska and the Yukon that created fortunes and transformed lives. Today, you can seek golden moments in the wild. Explore the towns and trails that played a starring role in the Klondike. Traverse the trackless mountains and bone-chilling rivers that forged personal histories in a land bolder than anything you’ve ever known. No other cruisetour operator tells the tale of the gold rush like Holland America Line. We travel the Klondike Highway through country once passable only by sled or paddle wheeler. And we glide down the Yukon River on our own luxury sightseeing vessel, the mv Yukon Queen II, to show you a region less populated than it was during the 1890s. These quests deepen and enrich your Great Land journey — experiences no rail or history buff should miss.
