Day two saw our port of call being Skagway. Skagway is a lovely city.. not so tight and enclosed as Juneau, and so very interesting as this was the centre of the Gold Rush of the 80's with the White Pass trail and the Chilcoot trail to the Yukon. Again, lots of shops and bars and just a great city with the mountains and ocean. We enjoyed this port a lot and it's too bad I didn't get some pics.
Anyways... the next day was probably the high light of this cruise. We cruised 26 miles into the Tracy Arm Fjord where Princess appears to be the top cruise line for getting into this wonderful scenic area with it's ice floes, huge rugged mountains and the huge Sawyer glacier at the end of the trip. I took a LOT of photos on this trip and the ones attached are only a small portion of the majestic scenery we encountered. We also met another cruise ship exiting the fjord just as we were arriving at the glacier.
The photo I took of the gang was just calling out to be photo'ed as everyone was in their colorful best this day. So nice.. so very very nice.. the water here is 1000 feet deep right at the base of the rocky shores.. Life is Grand!
