Alaska Pictures

The view from part way up Polychrome Pass. Karen had her eyes mostly closed for the rest of the road. It is quite a scary road as the drop off is perhaps 500 to 1000 feet to the bottom and the road is extremely narrow. Pucker factor was high even for me.



Karen took this picture of all the wild flowers at Eielsen rest stop in Denali. I lost sight of her in the interpretive center. I walked around the area looking for her and finally located her walking down a path over the hill. I knew she was on a "flower quest".

Alpine Lupine.
Wild Rose.

Bridle Falls taken from the White Pass RR.
Between Ketchican and Juneau from the Cruise Ship.
Float planes were every where.
Interesting color layers from the Hubbard Glacier.
Hubbard Glacier. All the "calving" was going on around the corner that you see.
The cruise ship lying at anchor a Hoonan, Icy Straight.
Karen and I took a walk on one of the forest paths while at Hoonan.
The trees are thick and a bit interesting sometimes.
Pretty darn big too.
Other than the mountains in the background, I found the
calm ocean amazing.
One of the little fishing villages along the way.

Reid Falls, named in honor of the man who shot Soapy Smith.


Another train headed back into Skagway.


This is the American/Canada Border.
This little cabin was the Northwest Mounted Police outpost, no longer manned. They are now located on the Hwy in a much more comfortable building.
