Distance: 7 km
Elevation Gain: 956 m (3136 ft)
Time: 4.5 hours
Difficulty: Moderate
The hike to the Tukga Hut is short but very steep following the 7-Mile Saddle and Chilly Ridge trails near Haines, Alaska. The views from the hut are unparalleled and you have access to several day hikes from the hut (Chilly Ridge, Tukgahgo Mountain, and Shakuseyi Peak (aka Peak 3920). The hut must be booked through Haines Huts & Trails website. If you don't have the hut booked you can still do the 7-Mile Saddle Route as a day hike and tack on Chilly Ridge and/or Tukgahgo Mountain routes for a longer day hike.

Shailyn on The Dream Trail
Hiked this with a friend on September 30th. This is a great end-of-season option as it typically has less snow than other taller hikes. No snow that day.

There is definitely permanent flooding on the trail in two sections (one which people have clearly been going around as there is a faint trail in the bush) and the other that is near the end (around km 6.8). We decided to do ...
