Sheep Camp — Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park

Accessible only by hiking the Chilkoot Trail, Sheep Camp requires a 13-mile trek from the Dyea trailhead through Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park. The National Park Service manages this backcountry camping area as part of the historic gold rush route that thousands of prospectors traveled in the 1890s.

Campers must pack in all gear and supplies, as no facilities exist at this remote location along the trail. The site serves hikers attempting the full 33-mile Chilkoot Trail crossing into Canada or those exploring this section of Alaska's gold rush history. Weather conditions can change rapidly at this elevation, making proper preparation essential for overnight stays.
