The trail, which crosses the historic Chilkoot Pass, is a National Historic Site of Canada in British Columbia, and is part of Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park in the United States. It was a major access route from the coast to Yukon goldfields in the late 1890s. The Chilkoot Trail and Dyea Site was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1978.
