MSMcDuffy Posted July 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Hello, Can anyone recommend a very scenic, mild to moderate hike in Skagway with a private tour company? I would prefer mild to moderate level (hills ok but not steep with loose rocks). I'm also open to a train or boat ride to get there as well as canoeing or kayaking as part of the adventure. I'll be doing this excursion solo in this port so I want to be with a group and I don't care what size of a group. Thank you! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaktreerb Posted July 13, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 13, 2014 You might want to consider the Chilkoot Hike and Float where as a group you take a small bus to Dyea and hike the first 1.6 miles of the Chilkoot trail. Then you board a rubber inflatable raft and float down the Taiya river. A moderate hike with some elevation, tree roots to climb over, and an easy float back. The hike is narrated. Check out the Skagway visitor's bureau for more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kartoon426 Posted July 15, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I loved Chilkoot Hike. It wasn't a bad hike at all. If I could make it to the river for the float part of the trip anyone can. Bring a good pair of hiking boots. If itvrains, they do provide pochos. I would recommend this tour.
