KLONDYKE AZ

Trail miles from west terminus: 153
Distance from GET: 2.5 miles SE via Aravaipa-Klondyke Rd

Founded in the early 1900's by a pair of nostalgic Yukon gold diggers, Klondyke (spelled with a 'y' instead of an 'i') holds on as a tiny outpost of civilization near the east end of Aravaipa Canyon. Now primarily a ranching community, as well as playing host to the occasional urban refugee, Klondyke has just one storefront: the tiny Klondyke Country Store, now reopened and refurbished after a long hiatus, with an eye toward helping out locals, tourists, and hikers alike. Klondyke remains a legitimate alternative to resupplying in Mammoth, but please take note of current arrangements for the shipping and holding of mail parcels.
