Hi, I'm ranger Rain from
the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park
And I'm here with your pro tip for making reservations on the Chilkoot Trail
So you decide you want to hike the trail and you're wondering now what?
well Parks Canada takes all the advance reservations.
So, we would like you to call
not email, but call, Parks Canada
and when you do we're gonna ask for the following information:
That date you want to start the trail,
which campsites are staying at,
how many nights are you going to be out there,
approximate number of tents,
and how many people in your party?
That's what we really need to know.
Now the person that makes the call,
we're, of course, going to want your name
and your email address,
and your credit card number because you will be paying in advance for this.
Once the call has been done, we've booked it,
we're going to send you an email
with all of that information your itinerary,
our cancellation policy.
Now, we do you have one favor for all of you...
Please, only one person from your group make the call.
Last year Parks Canada received over 350 calls
the first hour the reservations were open,
over 700 calls the first week.
So, please, be patient.
Give us a call if you do not get a live person
Leave your name and number.
We will call you back in the order that the calls were received.
And last year,
everyone got called back.
And nearly everybody got the exact trip they wanted.
So no worries, just relax,
enjoy, and happy trails!
