Whale watching was fun. Saw whales (7 or 8), bald eagles (too many to count), sea lions (lots of them) and amazing views of snow covered mountains.

Skagway, Alaska

4 out of 5

White Pass Train ride provided a variety of breathtaking views. Skagway was quaint. We stopped for lunch in town and the prices of the meals were much much higher than back home.
