Re: alaskan cruise
Go through Glacier bay .... we started in Ketchukan I wish I could recall were we got off the ship cause that was the coolest place ****. LOL
Then we rented a F350 with a camper in the bed and spent a week traveling in to British Columbia and the Yukon.
Badass trip...

Re: alaskan cruise
Train ride in Skagway was cool, it is a must do. Take the lift up the side of the mountain in Juneau. You can also go white water rafting in Valdez, that was pretty cool. We also did a whale watching tour and it was very good as well. Do NOT do any of the fishing trips unless you do the one that they fly you in to fly fish in the streams. Some took a helicopter up to a glacier and said that was very nice. If I can think of anything else I will post up.

Glacier bay is awesome. Sounds corny but the salmon fish hatchery in ?? I think Juneau is very interesting.

Re: alaskan cruise
When we went, we did the Helicopter ride up on top of the glacier and got out and walked around. Pretty wild, as you can hear the glacier cracking very loud under your feet knowing it is 500+ feet deep, then kept flying up to the top of a mountain and got out and ate chocolate and drank Champagne with the pilot. Can't drink and fly, WRONG. Your in Alaska. Also took the White pass train ride, great trip through the mountains. Took the Backcountry Jeep and Canoe safari. Four wheelin and paddling across one deep ass lake. Glacier Bay is an awesome sight, watching the glacier break off and falling into the water is wild. Go walk around Ketchikan into the city portion and watch the Lumberjack competition, they're impressive. Pretty much can't go wrong with anything on shore when your there. I'd go again in a heart beat and someday will.

Re: alaskan cruise
Train in Skagway... you nailed it dood, **** I could not remember the name of Skagway. That place was awesome ! That train ride is killer too, on top of the mountain it seemed like we were on the moon or something. I was a Sophmore and had not been many places ( top of a mountain... **** Im from Ks ) and I really loved that trip !

Re: alaskan cruise
Yeah Skagway is a very cool town. It is what you think of when you think of a typical Alaskan town.

Re: alaskan cruise
Do you remember seeing the Locomotive with the snow plow on display downtown. Looked like something out of StarWars for the time.

Re: alaskan cruise
Yeah I do remember that. I had forgotten about it. I liked the building downtown that had all of the driftwood on the front. Skagway was by far my favorite stop.CHASMAN9 said:Do you remember seeing the Locomotive with the snow plow on display downtown. Looked like something out of StarWars for the time.

Re: alaskan cruise
I liked Ketchikan too, we chartered a fishing boat. My first time "at sea" and being from Kansas I threw up like a sum bitch LOL
It worked though, I chummed up all sorts of Salmon. I also caught a 4/5ft shark but the captain cut it loose and said he wouldnt bring it on board. I ended up getting a Pink Salmon ( Humpy ) mounted and it's hanging above the doorway in my garage matter of fact.
I ate the biggest Halibut steak I had ever seen in my life... matter of fact it was the biggest piece of fish cooked I had ever seen in my life !
Great trip, man now I want to go through all the pic's and stuff again drool
