English: Caption on image: "Pack train, Dyea Trail. c1897" "Pack train, Dyea Canyon. This is a magnificient piece of scenery if regarded purely from a natural point of view. The unrestrained elements have produced a state of chaos; and through the wooded gulch the human trail wends its way, and man in quest of wealth and honor defies the forces of nature. Great boulders of rock and piles of broken timber bestrew the line of march and great care has to be exercised in picking out one's footsteps and also those of the beasts of burden. Accidents are not by any means a rarity; but with the necesary amount of care there is no occasion for any serious mishaps unless the weather be unpropious. Fine weather prevailed when this photograph was taken." (Frank La Roche, En Route to the Klondike, 1898) Klondike Gold Rush.
