Ferry ride to Haines

This is the best pic I could get of the whale. Until I get a better camera or closer shot. I am thinkin I need to take a kayak out into the inlet and see if I can't get a close up. You can see the water blown from the spout.

Trip to Haines, AK

Haines is a small community 14 miles from Skagway. Here they receive approx. 40" of rain a year as opposed to Skagway's 26". It served as a Military Fort during from 1898 to the end of WWII.

Crabbin Boat out of Seattle WA. Not sure what it was doing in Haines.

Lower Dewey Lake

One of my 10 roommates, Don. He served with Ali in Argentina. Small world?

Lower Dewey Lake

A shop in town has a challenge of Hiking 16 trails around the area. Lower Dewey & Sturgills Landing are now checked off my list.

Sturgills Landing Hike

Great view of the coastal mountain peaks around here.

The forest ground is covered with really short green plants, lots of moisture in this area. Great place for Fungi.

Lots of different terrain to see on this hike.

White Pass & Yukon Route (WP&YR) Train Ride

This is close to the summit of White Pass.

This is an old bridge they no longer use, now the railroad goes through a cave.

Enjoying Skagway!

A good saying I found on the road to Dyea.

My buddy Danny and I

Carcross, YT Bennett Lake

Here, Gold seekers would build boats and float down the Yukon River to Dawson City. That is if they were lucky enough to make it up one of two routes to Bennett Lake, White Pass Trail (beginning at Skagway) or The Chilkoot Trail (beginning at Dyea).
