Need help choosing excursion in Skagway

[JP-Cruise]

I will be in Skagway from 7am to 8:30pm next summer on a princess cruise. I would love to do Kroschel wildlife refuge, or doing this hiking tour in white pass up to feather peak

I’m so torn between be two. I love seeing wildlife, but on the other hand, this hike seems like it’s a once in a lifetime type hike opportunity!

Do you have all the necessary gear (and can you pack it), for the hiking excursion? That would be a big logistical concern for me. Lots of layers of clothes, hiking boots and not just tennis shoes, etc.

I sure do have all the necessary gear, they provide all the more technical gear (ice pick, rope etc)

 

It’s just a tough decision because I love wildlife too. And I’m already doing two other hikes, the next day I’m doing the extended glacier trek in Juneau where I will ice climb up a 30 - 50 foot wall. I doubt I’ll be tired because I’m young and a tough guy lol
