The trail was first used by the Tlingit for hunting and as a trade route and was used in 1897 - 1899 by gold prospectors who disembarked at Dyea and crossed into Canada in order to reach the Klondike gold fields.
The modern Chilkoot Trail begins at the Taiya River bridge near the Dyea townsite and travels over the Chilkoot Pass to Lake Bennett. It is part of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park on both the United States and Canada.
