White Pass Scenic Railway

Excursions

We rode the White Pass Scenic Railway along the route taken by gold rushers on their way to the Klondike in the 19th century. Along the way, we passed over what was for a long time the tallest cantilevered bridge in the world -- and it was rather frightening!

The port of Skagway from up the mountain

The train tracks wound around the edge of the mountains, with steep cliffs below much of the way.

This was once the tallest cantilevered bridge in the world!

Alaska Vacation

My family went on a cruise in southeastern Alaska at the end of August. It was more beautiful there than I had imagined! We did all sorts of fun things -- from fly fishing for salmon to kayaking in Sitka to flying over the Alaska Range and Mt. McKinley to admiring a 74 pound cabbage at the state fair. Our trip to Alaska was a true adventure!
