Skagway

In Skagway we took a bus tour back into Canada to the Yukon along the route where the gold rush miners went. It was neat to see how difficult it was for them. I don't know how they did it. The had to pack 2000lbs worth of goods over miles of rough terrain and the majority of them never found gold. We had a great time. It was our only day of the cruise that was snowy/rainy. We passed frozen lakes and beautiful mountains. We all got stamps on our passports for crossing into Canada.
Behind us is a frozen lake. It was a really pretty blue.

We had opportunities to get out and walk around. Matthew really loved it at this lake.

The mountains here were really pretty with the clouds

Matthew was trying to walk.

More beautiful scenery.

The Yukon sign was as far as we went.

Up at the top of the mountian pass was really foggy. The trees even though they are really old only grow a few feet tall.

Us as the Alaska sign.

This is the bus we took.


Matthew sitting on the sign that talks of the Klondike Highway. He can say now he has been to the real Klondike when he goes on his Klondike snow campout when he is a scout.
