Need to Know

• You are required to stop by the Trail Center in Skagway to validate your permit and receive a safety briefing prior to starting your hike.

• Pleasant Camp is located near the Taiya River. It is just after a relatively large elevation gain coming from Canyon City. It is a good place to stay for experienced hikers accustomed to long days who want a quieter campground than Sheep Camp.

  Your permit guarantees you a site within the campground. Individual sites are first come, first served. When you arrive in the campground you may set up camp at any unused site.
