Alaska a Picture Review -May 30 to June 6th

[cio541]

There will be few photos on here of the ship I took mostly scenery and sites we visited. We took an extended vacation before the trip so cruise day was actually day 5 for us.

 

We drove through Central Oregon (from southern Oregon) to Eastern Oregon. I will not be including all those days there, however my photos of the entire trip will be uploaded to my photo hosting site which I will list at the end of the review for anyone who is interested.

I should probably say that this was probably our coldest day. We even had a small amount of snow flying but all in all it was really nice.

 

We actually had wonderful weather all week. Every day had sun, with the Juneau day being on and off showers and sun. The most rain we saw all week was when we pulled into Seattle on Tuesday am

Will be back after Skagway and Caribou Crossing photos get done loading

The sun is shinning and its beautiful. We are taking the Ultimate Yukon and White Pass Rainroad excursion. This is an 8 hour excursion where you take a bus into the Yukon Territories to Caribou Crossing (Carcross) and have lunch and then ride the bus back to Frashier BC to catch the White Pass Railway back into Skagway.

 

All in all a great excursion, however 8 hours was way too long for me.

Great picture review. My mom and dad's first cruise was to Alaska in 2002 and he has told me that some day he is taking me back there. I will be sure to show him your pictures

This bridge is only suspended on one side as it marks the convergence of 5 Earthquake faults and it was built this way to withstand seismic disturbances

The place we stopped for lunch was a musher's training facility and they had all sorts of animals.

Thank you for the wonderful photos, we have thought about doing an Alaska or Caribbean cruise out of the USA (we are in Australia) and your photos have helped edge the decision, though we will only go if I get to see bears and your photo was great.
