The Chilkoot Trail in southeastern Alaska is open for the season , but hikers will not be able to cross the border.

The trail does not have a designated port of entry and the nearest border crossing station is in Skagway , a town some 11 miles from the trailhead on the American side.

The border crossing has been closed for nearly half a decade because of COVID-19 restrictions.
