Skagway, the Cruiseship Capitol of AK

Hi, We are in Skagway, Alaska and it's like being in Key West during season but wearing long pants and coats. Just today there are 6 Cruise ships in town, yesterday there were 5. Broadway St. is their Duval St. The streets are packed during the day, by 8:00 there's no one on the street and not one car. The town has almost the same shops as KW, except the Tee Shirt shops are beter hidden. Our high speed boat to Juneau to see 2 Glaciers was cancelled, so they offered a hour tour over a Glacier in a 4 seater single prop plane. Jack went with the camera and said it was the best experience he ever had. The wind on the ground was about 25 to 30 miles but once up he said it was very smooth. He saw Killer Whales and a couple of Mountain Goats. He took a lot of photos and it's hard to delete any of them. White Pass & Yukon Route Railway

Can you see the line and bridges about two thirds up. We are in the first car of the train and headed for that route. It's a 3 hour trip, about 20 miles to the White Pass Summit at 2865 feet (we started at sea level). Up there they unhook the engine, switch tracks and connect it to the last car up the mountains. So going down the mountains we are now in the last car. Jack and I spent the whole time outside and we had a blast. One side of the tracks is mountains straight up and the other side is straight down hill, crossing some bridges over rivers and waterfalls. We also went thru 2 Tunnel which were pitch black.
We are having a great time and enjoying the people we are traveling with. Tomorrow we will be in Whitehorse, Yukon to see a Follies show. It is the Gold Rush country.
Thanks for the comments, would love to get more. Love Gail
