Happy Camp Audio Described Wayside

Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park

Description

Stampeders called this area Happy Camp. Reporter Tappan Adney called it ‘a misnomer, if ever there was one.’ Happy Camp lacked a good wood supply, and few people lingered. Before the Klondike Gold Rush, travelers usually hiked from Sheep Camp to Lindeman — forest to forest — in a day.
