| Contextual Notes | White Pass is 2,900 feet high and is located on the Alaska-Canada boundary, 4 miles northeast of Mount Cleveland and 13 miles northeast of Skagway. This pass was on one of the principal routes to the Yukon taken by the prospectors during the Klondike Gold Rush 1897-1900. Although the White Pass route was less direct than the favorite, but steeper, Chilkoot Pass route, it was used by more prospectors during the winter months. [Source: Donald Orth.
