The development of railways (Athabasca, 1912; Grande Prairie, 1916; and Fort McMurray, 1917-21) diminished the importance of the trail. The trail experienced a brief revival with the building of the Alaska Highway during World War II, but modern highways now bypass most of the historic route. What remains of the trail today begins at Gibbons, Alberta and heads north to Athabasca.
