Taiya Inlet

Taiya Inlet is part of the upper Lynn Canal located in the U.S. state of Alaska.

Taiya was derived from the Tlingit term tayee, which means beneath or underneath.

Taiya Inlet was an important waterway during the Klondike Gold Rush offering passage to the deep-water port of Skagway and, by smaller boat (due to sediment from the Taiya River), the now-ghost town of Dyea.

These two boom towns were gateways to the respective White Pass and Chilkoot trails.
