Navigate the Yukon gold rush with a complete hand map and up-to-date routes from Edmonton.

This hand map and pamphlet describes the very latest pack trails and water routes from Edmonton to the Yukon gold fields. It combines sketch maps, route notes, and practical guidance to help prospectors choose a path that fits their plans.

Learn the three main routes: all-water, mixed water-and-land, and overland pack trails, including key waypoints and travel times.
Get practical setup tips, such as building boats, provisioning for long journeys, and wintering strategies along the Mackenzie, Liard, and Porcupine routes.
See why Edmonton is pitched as the hub for entering the Yukon and how to coordinate supplies, guides, and timing for a safer crossing.
Understand the sources of information used to compile the map, including local traders, survey data, and firsthand travel experience.

Ideal for readers planning a historic-paced expedition from the Edmonton area into the Yukon gold fields, and for those curious about old route planning and frontier travel.
