Sleds with provisions on the summit of White Pass; the last sled load of grain to be hauled over the pass before the snow melt. White Pass, on the boundary between Alaska and British Columbia, leads from Skagway, Alaska to the chain of lakes that are at the headwaters of the Yukon River, Crater Lake, Lake Lindeman and Bennett Lake, and was one of the two main passes used by prospectors during the Klondike Gold Rush.
