Haines - Skagway

Fjord Express to Juneau
Leaving Haines and 85 nautical miles to Juneau. This 65' cat boat runs at 30 knots

There are so many glaciers

The dock north of Juneau

Juneau from the Mt Roberts Tram

We came and we saw Juneau. The most prevalent shop which is consistent with the cruise chips are the jewelry stores. Exact copies and people from the Caribbean! There were 5 cruise ships while we were there. So we ducked into the Red Dog Saloon and had some fun! 




We're still trying to figure out what this is!




The local ladies

We don't often think about this in Sun Lakes


Mendenhall Glacier - Very nice USDA Forest Service center and viewing area


Humpback whales. There were 2 adults and a calf.



Bears in Haines


They are not very fat compared to the Valdez bears. Plus this cub is one year old. Note the colar.

This the port side of the ferry after making a U turn from the starboard side. 

Skagway

This is the Skagway ferry offload ramp at the bottom onto the floating dock and then up the ramp to land.
