Alaska is on everyone's bucket list. Do it twice!

Juneau ---- There She Blows
Be the first To alert everyone!
Skagway ---- The White Pass and Youkon Train Ride
A MUST for us. Recommend a MUST for you. This is the most expensive excursion we've ever done, but a bucket list item and we'll do it again with you all. The epic train ride living the life of the gold miners, their journeys and heart aches, the pass into Canada, the gold mining at Dredge Town, and the puppies in training stole our hearts. Soupy Dude's ideas dont seem so insane. Just don't fall for it, unless you're at the bottom of the mountains.
Endicott Arm & Dawe's Glacier - Glacier Bay
This is a scenic ship route just to see the Glacier. There is no port, it's for magical viewing of the Glacier. It is a phenomenal experience to be in the awe of such a creation. Truly humbling.
We loved seeing the seals playing on the mini ice burgs.
Find a viewing area early!
