Skagway

Outdoor Adventure

Alaska Excursions leads wheeled (no snow) sled-dog tours, horseback-riding tours, and golfing day trips. Booking independently with this service can be difficult, as cruise-ship groups reserve the bulk of available slots. Skagway, AK. 907/983-4444. www.alaskaexcursions.com.

Packer Expeditions offers guided hikes on wilderness trails not accessible by road. One trip includes a helicopter flight, a 2-mi hike toward the Laughton Glacier, and a one-hour ride back to town on the White Pass Railroad. A longer hike on the same trail uses the train for access in both directions and includes time hiking on the glacier. Skagway, AK. 907/983-3005. www.packerexpeditions.com.

Temsco Helicopters will fly you to Denver Glacier for an hour of learning about mushing and riding on a dogsled. Skagway, AK. 907/983-2900 or 866/683-2900. www.temscoair.com.
