Loading ...Once over the ‘stairs’, it is not too far to the Canada border. I understand Canada required the prospectors to have a year’s worth of supplies with them to be let in. This was more than a single man could carry alone. Some prospectors hired help to hike loads up the pass. Some who could not afford to hire help had to make multiple trips up the stairs. Then maybe assemble a cart to carry the stuff farther on to the border. That’s the story I heard, anyway. Hard times for Gold fever sufferers. (Some things never change!)
