Title
English: Blockade on Porcupine Hill, Skagway Trail, 1898
Description
English: White Pass is a good deal lower than Chilkoot Pass. When the gold rush started in 1897, there was no trail between Skagway and White Pass. That didn't stop the promoters of White Pass as the preferred route to the gold fields. In the summer of 1898, so many people and animals were headed along the narrow trail from Skagway to White Pass that there were traffic jams in places.

This 1898 photo by Eric Hegg shows a jam of people, horses, mules, and dogs on the Skagway Trail on the way to White Pass. The Skagway Trail was also called the White Pass Trail.
