Under Two Flags: The Summit of White Pass, Alaska - A Historic Moment of Joint Ownership and Shared Beauty The Summit of White Pass, Alaska, circa 1910, presents a captivating scene of unity and shared history. Nestled in the Boundary Ranges of the Coast Mountains, this iconic mountain pass marks the border between the US state of Alaska and the Canadian province of British Columbia. The image showcases the breathtaking panorama, with the American and Canadian flags proudly flying side by side atop the summit. White Pass is a vital historical landmark, connecting Skagway, Alaska, to the chain of lakes at the headwaters of the Yukon River, including Crater Lake, Lake Lindeman, and Bennett Lake. This passage has been a significant gateway for travelers and climbers since the late 1800s, when the Klondike Gold Rush brought thousands of adventurers to the region. The two flags atop White Pass symbolize the unique bond between the United States and Canada, as well as the rich history of exploration and cooperation that has unfolded on this land. The flagpoles, standing tall and proud, have witnessed countless moments of camaraderie and shared experiences among visitors from both nations. As you gaze upon this image, imagine the groups of travelers who have gathered at the summit, taking a moment to appreciate the beauty of the landscape and the significance of the border they've crossed.
