Klondike was a mining town with several buildings, and a school. Today all of that is gone. The mine entrance is easily accesable from forestry roads. This road is gated, so you will have to park at the gate and walk. It is a level walk about a mile each way. The mine entrance has been filled in with slag, but the old posts are still visible, and some old support beams are sitting around.
