TOURIST CONSCIOUS SKAGWAY PLANNING DYEA TRAIL LODGE
Skagway residents are becoming increasingly active on plans to entrench that Lynn Canal city as an attraction to tourists, it is reported by A. E. Glover, Regional Engineer for the U. S. Forest Service.
Mr. Glover, together with Forest Service Landscape Architect Linn Forrest and Admiralty Division Supervisor John Brillhart has this week returned from a trip to Skagway to advise city officials there on post-war planning.
Skagway's mayor, C. A. Carroll, is even now heading a group of residents planning to establish a tourist lodge along the Dyea Trail, across the bay from Skagway. The lodge is to be accessible by good auto roads from Skagway.
The Forest Service has been asked to cooperate in the lodge project to the extent of cutting more trails, some of them horse trails, into the adjacent Tongass National Forest area, Mr. Glover said.
This summer, for the first time since the U. S. Army occupied the area, the Forest Service plans maintenance work on present forest trails around Skagway.
