There were two routes through the mountains to Whitehorse on the Yukon River: The first route was the Chilkoot Pass trail which was too steep for pack animals.
In the third book, Crazy for Gold, the friends meet a girl named Isabel and travel with her family along the Chilkoot Pass to Dawson City, as they search for gold during the Klondike Gold Rush in 1898.
Her journey will start at Seattle's Klondike Museum Library and she will sail to the original gold rush town of Skagway in Alaska before walking the 53km Chilkoot Pass, with its 1,200ft-high Golden Staircase, into Canada.
