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.

Beautiful and well marked trail. Stunning scenery and easy hike. We started the hike at 1pm and had to remove our shoes to do the creek crossing and the silty river basin crossing.
