I just got back from a cruise through the Inside Passage to Southeast Alaska and it was a phenomenal trip. As the following photos will attest, it is the last unspoiled wilderness. My finger is sore from all the picture taking.

This is a view of Juneau from the ship as we were coming into dock.





The Mendenhall Glacier 12 miles north of downtown Juneau. Juneau is the capital of Alaska with a population of around 30,000. More than half the population of southeast Alaska lives in Juneau.




White Pass and Yukon Route narrow guage railroad out of Skagway. More than 30,000 stampeders made their way up the pass, but less than ten percent found any gold. Each person had to bring a ton of goods (2000 lbs) to cross over in the Yukon out of Alaska and this was where the Mountie lived who checked each stampeder for supplies.




Kayaking in the Eagle Islands north of Ketchikan. Yes, I was kilted in the kayak. The guide said he'd never guided anyone kilted before. It was a bit awkward getting in and out.
