Photo: Dawson City Wall Mural Klondike Gold Rush

A beautiful wall mural displayed on a door at the Klondike Gold Rush site in Dawson City in the Yukon Territories tells a tale of days past.

A man and his dog sled team in the midst of a frozen, snow covered landscape are shown in this wall mural where they make their way through the wilderness during the Klondike Gold Rush days in Dawson City in the Yukon Territories. This was the only way to transport goods from place to place in the early years and many people fought bitterly, cold conditions to get between towns.The details on this wall mural are stunning as the mountain peaks rise above the trees and the dogs appear tired after a long trek. The Klondike Gold Rush was a period of gold rush immigration where prospectors search the land for gold after it was found in the late 19th century. People came for miles in search of gold and many used a dog sled team to get around.National Historic Site, Klondike Gold Rush, Dawson City, Yukon Terr., Canada, North America.
