Outdoor Adventure

Alaska Excursions. Booking independently with Alaska Excursions—which leads wheeled (no snow) sled-dog tours, horseback-riding tours, and golfing day trips—can be difficult, as cruise-ship groups reserve the bulk of available slots. 5th Ave., Skagway, AK, 99840. 907/983-4444. . www.alaskaexcursions.com.

Packer Expeditions. This company offers guided hikes on wilderness trails not accessible by road. One trip includes a helicopter flight, a 2-mile 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. 9th Ave. and State St., Skagway, AK, 99840. 907/983-3005. . www.packerexpeditions.com.

Temsco Helicopters. Fly to Denver Glacier for an hour of learning about mushing and riding on a dogsled with Temsco Helicopters. 901 Terminal Way, Skagway, AK, 99840. 907/983-2900 or 866/683-2900. www.temscoair.com.
