The landslide happened roughly 1700 years ago, and became the landmark that let the Stampeders know they made it to Dawson City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The story has it that two local First Nations tribes were fighting, one at the base of the mountain, the other near the top. Someone near the top cut a tree down, which loosened a rock, which then triggered the rock slide.
