Your reward for the challenging hike up until this point is an idyllic blue-green lake, with the rich coloring that only glacier-fed waters can provide.

There is also a public use cabin nearby — the Upper Dewey Lake Cabin — which must be reserved in advance, for a fee, from the Skagway Recreation Center. skagwayrecreation.org/outdoor-recreationupper-lake-cabin
