day 9 — extra day
why we came to the great
land — kluane national park
Made the full-day trek up to King’s
Throne. Friends did the Alsek Valley
interpreted hike. Others shot the
rapids of the Tatshenshini River.
There was a fabulous flightseeing trip
featuring Mt. Logan too — something
for everybody!
day 10
followed the
gold rush trail
History continued to unfold as we
traveled aboard the White Pass & Yukon
Route Railroad and explored Skagway
and the Klondike Gold Rush National
Historic Park. Said farewell to our Tour
Director since we’ll embark on our
cruise tomorrow.
day 11
we’re welcomed
aboard our ship
The ship stayed in Skagway until 9pm,
so we had time to preview Glacier Bay
from the air and get acquainted with
our elegant vessel.
day 12
glacier bay national park —
glorious!
Watching glaciers calving, whales
breaching and seals basking on ice floes
kept us in awe the entire day. And we
learned so much from the park ranger
and local Huna Totem member.
day 13
misty fjords via
floatplane — the perfect
thing to do in ketchikan
Took off from the harbor, climbed
past stunning waterfalls into a
wonderland of high alpine lakes.
Then we landed and climbed out
onto the pontoons for a picture in
Misty Fjords National Monument.
day 14
cruising the inside passage
was pure heaven
After getting up late, we marveled
at the beauty of forested islands and
sheltered waterways. Kept ourselves
busy all day and vowed to cruise
again and again.
day 15
said good-bye, but
not farewell, in
beautiful vancouver
Sailing under the Lion’s Gate Bridge
into Vancouver, we looked back at
our adventure. Denali, Kluane,
Tombstone, Glacier Bay, Dawson,
the Yukon River — we’re so glad we
made the time to see it all.
