Also known as the Klondike Gold Rush or the Yukon Gold Rush, Alaska's gold rush occurred between the years of 1896 and 1899, bringing about 100,000 prospectors to the region.

By contrast, California's Gold Rush occurred between the years of 1848 and 1855, resulting in about 300,000 prospectors descending upon California.

The Alaskan Gold Rush was the harder gold rush of these two, since they were in -50 degree weather. They also had to used dog sleds and make tent cities. They ate little to no meat, fruit, or vegtables. People seeking gold mostly ate beans and bread, when they entered Canada they were not allowed to come unless they brought food for themselves. This food weighed 900 kg (about 1 ton) and they had to carry it over Chilkoot pass, on a very narrow trail.

the California gold rush began on January 24; 1848.the gold in California was discovered at Sutter's mill by John A. Sutter. It didn't start until 18 because until it was known by many people, it was called "The Alaskan Gold Rush". Second, the discovery of the news resulted in approximately 300,000 women, men and children moving and migrating to California. These early gold-seekers, called the forty-niners, traveled to California by sailing ships and in covered wagons across the continent..
