Alaska surprise! Posted March 13, 2007 #2 Share Posted March 13, 2007 oh! me too please!! I am also thinking that with all the sitting on the boat, on the train, on the busses and on the plane.... I'd like to find things to do that involve more movement :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanne123 Posted March 13, 2007 #3 Share Posted March 13, 2007 We did two Skagway excursions that we enjoyed very much -- The Glacier Point Wilderness Safari and the Chilkoot Trail Hike and Float. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandiego1 Posted March 13, 2007 #4 Share Posted March 13, 2007 We did two Skagway excursions that we enjoyed very much -- The Glacier Point Wilderness Safari and the Chilkoot Trail Hike and Float. We are considering the Chilkoot Trail Hike & Float too. I'm a bit concerned about the raft. My husband has a bad shoulder and can't do any type of paddling. We can never go canoeing or kayaking. Do the guides paddle for you or are you required to paddle as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanne123 Posted March 13, 2007 #5 Share Posted March 13, 2007 The guide did all the steering -- Just sit back and hold on to the ropes. It wasn't a very long float - maybe 20 minutes? I think you could also do the canoe trip at Glacier Point. We had a couple people who couldn't or chose not to paddle at all. The canoe has a motor, and the guide used that when we got too far off course (not an experience paddler in the bunch!) or if the group got tired. We had one fellow in our canoe with a broken arm, and he spent the whole time taking pictures. Go. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikaula Posted March 14, 2007 #6 Share Posted March 14, 2007 We've done two extremes in Skagway. Went dogsledding - quite expensive but loved every minute of it. We also love to walk around town go to the museums. We also took the fast ferry to Haines once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
