Taiya Inlet is a stunning fjord-like waterway at the northern end of Lynn Canal, near Skagway. Surrounded by towering mountains and glaciers, it is a prime spot for kayaking, boat tours, and wildlife viewing. Visitors can paddle calm waters or cruise past waterfalls and tidewater glaciers, spotting seals, eagles, and bears. The inlet's distinctive feature is its pristine wilderness and the dramatic backdrop of the Coast Mountains. It's a gateway to the Chilkoot Trail and a must for nature lovers.
