Looks like you had a great day, weather-wise, in Skagway and you took some excellent pictures!  😃

International Falls

 

 

Headed down into Tormented Valley. Now in Canada.

 

 

 

 

without the bush!

 

 

Bushes and trees love to photobomb my photos!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remember, most of these photos were taken at highway speed!

I love the simplicity of a shot like this!

sometimes getting part of the bus is unavoidable

We arrived at Fraser and had a bathroom stop. I got some pictures!

We continued heading North from Fraser towards the Yukon!

WP&YRR tracks - they are a narrow gauge. You can see it in this picture really well!

 

 

 

 

It started to rain.

 

[shadowmeboy]

 

 

the fall foliage was spectacular!

Bove Island

 

 

 

Everyone thought it was beautiful too!

 

 

 

We stopped along the way, because we spotted some mushrooms.

 

 

 

They were cool looking!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Almost to Carcross!

 

 

The sun started to come out again.

We are the August 10th sailing.  It will be our anniversary and DH has always wanted to see Alaska.  I hope you do a southbound review when you return they are hard to find.  Most reviews are northbound.  

Too bad we are not sailing the same date I think you all would be great to visit with.

go to post #1 of this review, the 2016 Sun sailing this will give you some idea on a southbound. Use my 2018 Jewel one for the ship.

I actually just re-read your 2018 to see pictures of the Jewel and really enjoy all of your reviews!

So we are almost to Carcross when...

 

 

a fox crosses in front of us!

 

 

 

 

 

climbing the hill

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It decides to continue up the hill.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry for so many pictures, but my first fox in the wild!

We pull into Carcross for a restroom break.

 

 

 

The Maple Syrup shack. I will be back...

 

 

 

 

Back on the road after the quick restroom stop in Carcross.

 

 

smallest desert in the world!

 

 

 

 

A man shooting photos in the desert.

 

 

 

 

We hit the road again.
