    Tips

    September 6, 2024

    The small town of Bennett was built during the gold rush at the end of the 19th century. It served as a stopover for gold seekers on their journey along the Yukon to the gold fields around Dawson. Today the town is abandoned, but the station is still in use during the summer months.



    Bennett is the northern starting point for the 53-kilometre Chilkoot Trail, which stretches all the way to Dyea in Alaska. There is no road connection to Bennett, so you can only get here by train or charter flight. You can find some providers here: parks.canada.ca/lhn-nhs/yt/chilkoot/activ/randonnee-cdn-hiking.



    Since there is no cell phone reception in Bennett or along the entire Chilkoot Trail, bring an appropriate device such as an inReach or satellite phone.
