Laughton Glacier Hike June 2026
This is such a cool experience! I loved being able to take in some views from the White Pass train as well as hike through three unique ecosystems (the lush forest, the open boulder / rock field, and the glacier itself). While the glacier is of course the “star” of this hike, the sights along the way are just as breathtaking.
A few notes that may be helpful for your planning:
-Packer Excursions sets you up with a lumbar pack and water bottle. There really isn’t a need to carry your own backpack. There are several water bottle refill points from mountain springs and glacial melt along the route, so no need to worry about having enough to drink.
-There is a restroom on the train and an outhouse on the trail.
-I did this hike mid-June and wore fleece lined leggings, a tshirt, a sweater, and a vest. Early in the hike I was just wearing the tshirt. I appreciated having the sweater and vest for the glacier. We really warmed up in the afternoon on the way back; I could have skipped the fleece lined leggings and would have been comfortable.
-The only additional items I brought on the hike were sunglasses, sunscreen, chapstick, and a hat.
-While you get to see pretty blue glacial ice from afar, you don’t really get up super close to blue ice on this trip. It is still beautiful! Just important to keep expectations in check.
Sam and Austin were great guides and we wish them the best as they continue to grow Packer Excursions and share the beauty of Skagway with other visitors. Thank you for your expert guiding, level of preparedness, and sharing so many interesting facts with us!

Great experience for families with kids
This was the perfect excursion for our family with our two kids ages 2 1/2 and 6 1/2. It’s about a 35 minute shuttle ride from the port so it isn’t too long and you get to experience a lot of different elements between writing in the slide with the 16 dogs, pulling you, meeting the dogs, learning about the history of the Iditarod and snuggling puppies. Our kids had a blast, and it was beautiful as well as informative. There is a little shop at the end where you can buy commemorative things and some chips, but otherwise make sure you bring snacks. We had Houston as our guide who was awesome, especially with our kids, and Ethan was our sled guide. Absolutely would recommend!

This excursion was much...
This excursion was much more than I had anticipated! Our guide Drake was very informative and was great with timing and he made sure everybody had an opportunity to get good pictures. The coach was comfortable. The sled dog farm was a tail wagging fun adventure. Even with heavy fog we saw an eagle, several tall waterfalls, and a couple of Dahl sheep. 10/10. - Arkansas Travelers

Very well organized tour,...
Very well organized tour, feast for the eyes the whole time and many photo spots. Connor was funny and told us many interesting stories about the area. There is an opportunity to do dog sledding at one stop for extra cost. The only thing that would make this trip better is maybe a short walk/hike in one of those locations, it’s a lot of sitting on the bus otherwise, but that would extend the tour time.
