You can still hike the Chilkoot Pass today. So there was definitely no cutting in line. The treads were so narrow that climbers were limited to trudging up the mountain in single file. In the winter, workers cut the ice into 1500 steps, which came to be known as the “Golden Stairs.” But this wasn’t a wide, comfortable staircase. This rock-strewn area was used as a staging point, as it was the last place adventurers could have their packs weighed before setting off. The Chilkoot trail rose 275 metres to the base of the Chilkoot Pass to an area called the Scales. And for a dog that was used to living the pampered life in California, this must have come as quite a shock.
