Leaves the south end of the Lower Dewey Lake loop and runs 3.5 miles one way through pine and spruce-hemlock forest to Sturgill's Landing on Taiya Inlet, with a picnic table, privy and the remains of a sawmill. Expect about 500 feet of climbing each way. Scan the inlet for marine mammals. The City of Skagway maintains this trail (not the National Park Service); NPS lists distances as round trips from the visitor center at 2nd and Broadway.
