the2006Junket Posted June 18, 2009 #1 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Hi everyone, Do you have a recommendation for our activities or excursion(s) in Skagway for a group of families with mostly teen boys? We're an active and outdoorsy crowd who like to hike, bike etc. There are many good options in Skagway and I'm hoping I can get some advice from those who have been there with teens or who can imagine what teens would enjoy!

Mrs007 Posted June 18, 2009 #2 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Hi Lynne. You didn't say what your budget was or if you specifically wanted to stay in Skagway. If you rent a van and drive up to the Yukon (Using Murrary's milemarker guide), you can get in contact with Spirit Lake Lodge and maybe the boys would like a horseback ride and some canoeing on the lake. Or maybe talk to the owners at Spirit Lake Lodge and talk to them about some fishing. http://www.exploreyukon.com/daytrips.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted June 18, 2009 #3 Share Posted June 18, 2009 The Dewey Lakes trails, right from downtown Skagway, offer a spectacular view. The Upper Dewey is more challenging for activie teens. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the2006Junket Posted June 19, 2009 Author #4 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Thanks for the super input so far! Anyone else out there? Has anyone tried the Rock Climbing and Rappelling excursions? How about guided hikes with Packer Expeditions? Lynne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diathoney Posted June 19, 2009 #5 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I have two active teens. We're doing the Glacier Point Wilderness Safari - between the high speed catamaran, short hike and canoeing I think everyone will be happy. How many places can you paddle up to a glacier? The reviews have been good and the pictures are amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whale-watcher Posted June 19, 2009 #6 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Thanks for the super input so far! Anyone else out there? Has anyone tried the Rock Climbing and Rappelling excursions? How about guided hikes with Packer Expeditions? Lynne The rock climbing was a BIG hit with my kids (boys then age 9 and 15 and daughter age 18, all very active), as well as me (dad). The kids rated this right up there with the glacier helicopter landing and superior to Misty Fjords flightseeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother and I (20 and 25) are booked for this excursion, and we are both REALLY looking forward to it. In doing my research it was as highly recommended and reviewed as some of the flight seeing tours out of juneau and ketchikan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
