Alaska ~ Glacier Bay Nat. Park & Juneau


Hi Everyone!

I am so excited to show you photos from our cruise to Alaska last week!

Today I am going to show you Glacier Bay National Park and Juneau!

We were so lucky to have great weather every day.

We boarded the ship in Seattle and within a few short hours, we were on our way!



We were amazed at how close the huge cruise ship could get to the glaciers!



It was so magical and peaceful there.
We spent several hours touring the whole bay!
The next stop was the wonderful city of Juneau!


We went on an amazing tour that was a hike through the rain forests and we walked within a 1/4 mile of the Mendenhall Glacier!


After our 4 our hike, we trekked through the town, shopped and went up the tramway to the top of the Mount Roberts to look down at the views and our ship!



It was a perfect day!
Tomorrow, I will show you our next stop ~ Sitka, AK!

    My late aunt in Canada went on an Alaskan cruise a few years ago and they did all kinds of statues made from chocolate on the ship.
    Thank you so much for sharing your pictures, loved them.
