Upper Dewey Lake Trail

Starts at the north end of the Lower Dewey Lake loop and climbs about 3,100 feet in 3 miles one way (NPS lists 6 miles round trip) to Upper Dewey Lake. Forest gives way to alpine with grouse and ptarmigan, marmots and pikas, and mountain goats on the ridgelines. A primitive cabin at the lake is open to the public, and a newer rental cabin at the northwest end is booked through the Skagway Recreation Center (907-983-2679). The Devil's Punchbowl trail continues from the lake. 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.
