Our first GLACIER! This is Mendenhall Glacier near Juneau.

 

In Juneau with beautiful mountains in the background

 

After 3 days on the ship, we finally arrived in Haines! We spent our first night here looking for bears with someone we met that evening. Never found any.

 

We love the snow-covered mountains!

 

This is the 100+ year old steam boat of a dentist we met in Haines. He lives in the boat. He previously owned a practice in Pike Place Market in Seattle, Wa while we lived in Wa. We remember seeing his practice several times. Small world!

 

We took an amazing hour-long flightseeing tour over the east wing of Glacier Bay National Park. Absolutely astonishing - miles and miles of glaciers.

A waterfall running down from this glacier.

 

We were all smiles!

 

Amaaaaaaaaazing! We saw lots of Dall's Sheep in the mountains around the park.

 

The great Alaska Highway! The Yukon was beautiful, untouched land with mountains and lakes as well as the worst highway we've ever driven on in our lives!

Take a close look. This is called a highway. A dirt/gravel/mud road not even close to flat - there were patches of pavement. This continued throughout all of the Canadian part of the Alaska Highway.

 There was plenty of beautiful scenery.

 The Alaska part of the Alaska Highway. We couldn't have been happier. The roads were great.

 

 Arrival in Tok and the end of the Alaska Highway for us. Our truck was a mess.

 

 Ever seen anyone mowing his roof?!

 Polliann and Gretel and scenery that continued all the way to Anchorage

 Fireweed is everywhere here.

 There's a huge mountain over Robert's left shoulder but you just can't see it very well in the picture! On to Anchorage...
