Chilkat Guides runs river and hiking day trips from Skagway, including the Chilkoot hike & float: about 2 miles of hiking on the Chilkoot Trail, then a gentle raft float down the Taiya River to Dyea. A cruise-line listing for this kind of trip rates it strenuous and says guests must walk 2 miles over uneven terrain, and the operator lists no float-only option. The Skagway office at 157 2nd Avenue, vehicle access and restrooms aren't described; the SW 2nd & Broadway SMART stop is about a block away. Note: AbleVu has no tour category, so this is listed as an attraction. Not checked on-site by AbleVu.
