Then you reach a section where you walk into the woods and follow the trail to climb up towards the falls. It's pretty short and not too steep. Once there, the lower falls are so pretty! It can get crowded as the day goes on. We got there in the late morning and there were already a good number of people, so I think earlier is better. **BONUS: When we hiked down, we took the path towards the cemetery. That was an interesting section with some really old headstones/gravesites. It was a little sad but also fascinating to read the markers and to think about the people who lived here long ago.

The actual hike is pretty short. so if you just get dropped at the parking lot you will be walking less than a 1/4 of a mile..... From the ship over was around 2.25 miles each way.

A tour bus of people got dropped at the parking lot JUST as we got there so we had a ton of people to contend with after we had just walked over. They seemed oblivious to the fact that other people were there and wanted pictures without them in it. But definitely a lovely stop to get a little taste of Alaska beauty.

This is it. This is what I'd like to talk about. The trail that starts in downtown Skagway, Alaska…read moreand leads to Upper Dewey Lake and eventually Devil's Punchbowl! I'm not shy about this, lol, so I'm just going to say it...the views from high above were blissful! Joyous! Incomprehensible! Lol, can I go any further? Hehehe. Now...for my first ever visit to Skagway, I had stopped in at the Visitor Center, spoken with a few of the locals and done my research. If there's one hike you must do while here, it's this trail that navigates to Upper Dewey Lake and then finally Devil's Punchbowl. Briefly, I want to say...along my adventure...a few other hikers I passed by said the sights and surroundings reaching Devil's Punchbowl were 10 out of 10! Yeah, sure, I didn't really believe these people. These (in my head) were amateur explorers, lol. What did they know? Here I am, having visited almost every national park, having accomplished loads of hikes and trails. Lol, I'm Mr. Know It All! So...I didn't really take these random acquaintances seriously. Well, obviously, I am here writing this, my story, and yes...this hiking trail that takes you to the upper limits of Skagway...standing high above the inlet of the Alaskan Panhandle has won my full support and approval! This was easily one of the 10 BEST HIKES I have ever accomplished! Almost 4000 feet high! Feeling like I'm on top of the world! I can't stress enough the type of mighty feeling I felt in my belly! The freedom! Just, (tears of joy), breathing in that fresh Alaskan air was unlike anything else. I am beyond grateful to be writing about this, lol. And...once again...this hike relit my fuel, to say...I take nothing for granted. I am humbled. Thank you Skagway, Alaska! This Dewey Lake Trail leads to all sorts of different pathways. You don't necessarily need to trek to Upper Dewey Lake and Devil's Punchbowl. There's the Lower Dewey Lake Loop (nothing special), Sturgill's Landing, and mediocre Icy Lake and Upper Reid Falls. But...going all the way to Upper Dewey Lake and Devil's Punchbowl was monumental! First off...if you're going to make it all the way to Upper Dewey Lake...you MUST FINISH it till the end at Devil's Punchbowl. MUST. Some cruise ship passengers I was hiking alongside never ventured fully to Devil's Punchbowl. They missed out. Because...Dewey Lake was just okay. But...the real highpoint of it all happens when you're climbing to Devil's Punchbowl. Especially in the afternoon time with the sun at your back makes for the perfect setting. All my wondrous moments came while at the top of the mountain. Then, I could view Upper Dewey Lake and the colorful snowcapped mountains in their entirety and, wow, this is what it's all about! Also, off to the left hand side while climbing, you can view downtown Skagway and the cruise ships docked in port. This Upper Dewey Lake Trail to Devil's Punchbowl took 8 hours to complete. They say it's an all day hike but I started at 12pm and finished by 8pm...a little before sunset. Here are the statistics... - To arrive at Upper Dewey Lake, it's 7 miles roundtrip gaining 3100 feet in elevation. Definitely, strenuous. - To arrive at Devil's Punchbowl, in total from the trailhead it's 9.5 miles gaining 3700 feet in elevation. At this point it's all adrenaline, lol. And...so let me just talk about the incline and how hard the hike was. After the initial start...it's nothing but serious climbing and climbing and climbing. Especially, there'll be a sign beside the Lower Dewey Lake Trail Intersection stating to arrive at Upper Dewey Lake...it's only 2 more miles. But...that 2 miles is straight incline. Just be prepared with water and food/snacks and embrace the challenge. One thing...Skagway is known for having loads of cruise ship passengers. If you're from a cruise and want to head to Devil's Punchbowl, you must start this trail immediately when exiting the ship. Unfortunately, along the way to Upper Dewey Lake, there's nothing to view. It's plenty of switchbacks and intense trekking upward through forest on a dirt pathway and beside a streaming river. In the end...the reward of it all is snapping stunning photos from the top of the mountain, located just outside Devil's Punchbowl. This hike totally rejuvenated and motivated me to explore what's next on my summer journey throughout Alaska. Btw...the actual Devil's Punchbowl was average. It's all about the views peering down upon Upper Dewey Lake and Skagway. Like out of a photoshopped magazine or postcard, lol. Looking at my pictures, they really don't do justice. Finally, the views from high above were so special. I can't put into writing other than to say you must come here and do this, to reinforce, to believe, that the world is a beautiful place and there's nothing like standing among the heart of the great outdoors.

A strenuous trek up the hill with a lot of switchbacks and is not for the faint of heart as this is…read morea difficult strenuous walk that reminds me a lot of some of the trails I walked in Hawaii. Big chunks of the path going up the hill is uneven with wet/loose dirt and exposed roots and imbedded rocks that you need to stay focused on. The vegetation is lush and green and is quite serene. Nice elevated views in spots with lake views and alternate trails around the lake. We only got as far as Dewey lake and there trail system on this day (which is what this review and rating reflects) due to another hike we had taken earlier in the morning where we ran to of time and had to return to the ship for departure. Having said that, I see in the other review that the Punchbowl is amazing and that is something we will have to do on the next trip here which we will definitely be doing at some point in the future. Upper Reid falls was also a goal for us as we saw the lower Reid falls earlier in the day which was absolutely gorgeous. Overall a nice but strenuous place to hike that offers some beautiful scenery along the way.

Off the grid might be an understatement…read more People say, "it isn't about the destination, its about the journey, man". In this case, the destination, Davidson Glacier, was stunning, but getting there was the real adventure. When we disembarked in Skagway, we didn't have an excursion pre-reserved. We wanted to get away from the endless jewelry stores and tourist traps and do something active, but didn't want to take any of the helicopter or small plane trips (long story). So we looked over the options offered by a local tour company [1] and decided on the Glacier Point Wilderness Safari. It was described as a high speed jet catamaran ride followed by a nature walk and canoe trip to the edge of a glacier. What we didn't realize is that we would leave civilization far behind and embark on something more unique than we realized. We left the metropolis of Skagway (pop. 1500 in high season) on the catamaran for an hour cruise to the remote area of Glacier Point. On the boat, our guide started telling us about the area and the group of hardy and humorous souls that live on the island during the summer months. You see every summer ten people live and work on the island in a little community with no running water or electricity while taking visitors to the glacier. And when the weather turns bad, which it invariably does in Alaska, and the trips are canceled, they have the place all to themselves. And boy was it beautiful. We were the first group to visit after a 3-day storm and they were really happy to see some new faces. Half the fun of the excursion was talking to the guides and asking them about their daily life on the island and what brought them there. It was fun to imagine what it would be like to join them for a few weeks in this exquisite solitude, but I know my limits. One of our family jokes is that I'm a 'state park kinda girl.' The canoe trip was a bit of a disappointment because we are a family of paddlers and although you are in a 30' Voyager canoe, the paddling itself is brief and ceremonial since the guide operates an outboard motor. And based on the skills (or lack thereof) of the motley crew of tourists, the motor is a good call. I wouldn't categorize the trip as active since you do far more sitting than walking or paddling. It was extremely cold, so take them up on their offer of extra layers. Unlike our other visits to glaciers, we got close in and time stood still as we gazed at the intense blue color, fragments, cracks, crags and landslides. Alaska is a land constantly on the move. Most glaciers are receding at an alarming rate, so there was awe tinged with sadness that it will never be the same. You've got to take it all in while it lasts. They had silly jokes, songs, provided history about the area and facts about glaciers. It was totally interactive and you never got the sense they were just going through the motions. All in all, one of our favorite outings in Alaska. And it was WAY OUT. [1] We booked through M&M tours, but others booked in advance through their cruise ships although this tour was not an option on Princess Cruises excursion list.

This was a GREAT tour!…read more We met Amy and Davis - two guides near the cruise port. We joined about 8 others in a van and drove about 30 minutes out into the wilderness. Roads quickly turn to dirt and it's pretty remote feeling. Amy and Davis then took us on a moderately difficult 2 mile hike rising about 400' in the Alaskan wilderness. After about an hour - we started descending which is also not the easiest to hike - but they waited for everyone and helped anyone in need. They also helped carry any extra gear if you needed. Amy took breaks every 10 minutes or so to allow everyone to rest and point out the local flora. We then got to a rive where a raft was brought in by other guided. After putting on boots, everyone boarded the raft for a picturesque trip down a very scenic river with bald eagles flying all around - eating fish and the like. We got stuck in an eddy of water for a while - but Amy got us out. Davis was still learning the guide role. After the river float - we helped get the raft out and they had cookies and hot tea / chocolate for everyone to enjoy. This was a SUPERB ALASKAN experience!!!! I would HIGHLY recommend this, provided you can hike a moderately difficult trail.
