Seattle Skyline
The Seattle skyline from the balcony of our stateroom as the cruise gets underway. Wish we could have had this type of weather throughout the trip.
Claudia on the Ship
Claudia poses near one of the lockers we did not wish to see used :)
Humpback Whale Diving
There were lots of whales to see on pour excursion boat that left out of Juneau. It took a combination of some practice and also some luck to catch one of the whales as it dove down deeper and exposed its tail.
Mendenhall Glacier
In addition to the great whale viewing, we also had as great view of Mendenhall Glacier and the surrounding mountains from the deck of our excursion boat near Juneau.
Claudia At Fish Bake Waterfall
The end of our whale watching excursion ended on shore, at a big salmon bake, near a picturesque waterfall.
Jack Peak, British Columbia
Jack Peak shows through low clouds, rising above Tutshi Lake in British Columbia as we take a day drive out of Skagway and up into Canada.
Bald Eagle on Dyea Road
An eagle stays perched in a tree right above the road long enough for a profile picture.
Margerie Glacier In The Rain
The trip to Glacier Bay National Park was supposed to be the highlight of the trip, but the weather did not cooperate. The Margerie Glacier, the main attraction, was still impressive, but not what it could have been and the conditions made getting a representative image very hard.
What Might Have Been
The 2nd glacier we visited was Lamplugh Glacier - which started out almost completed obscured by rain, fog, and mist. It eventually began to be slightly visible as we were pulling away. This heavily processed image gives a hint of just how amazing and colorful this scene could have been if we had only had better weather. Instead, it ended up looking more like a painting than an image from a high resolution camera.
Lookin' Out To Sea
Kristen breaks out the binoculars on our last day at sea, when the sun finally decided to return.
View from the Bridge
Kristen enjoys the view from the bow of the ship (atop the bridge) on the last day of the cruise.
Tourista!
Claudia rocks her best tourist outfit at the deck railing of the ship on the last day of the cruise.
