Denali: The Great One

Mike and I took advantage of a sunny day and drove down to Denali National Park in search of The Great One.  We were not disappointed!  We also saw some beautiful views from Toklat, Polychrome and several caribou!

Oregon Fun!

Mike, my mom and I had a blast on our tour of Oregon!  We visited the Northern Coast, Portland and Mt. Hood.  From the beach, to the rocks, to the lighthouse, to the rose garden to the mountains, it was all incredibly beautiful!

From Whitehorse to Home!

We saw a few things on our drive from Whitehorse, Yukon Territory to home.

From Haines to Juneau: A Plethora of Stuff!

Wow!  What a day!  Mike and I saw some incredible sights on our trip on the Fjords Express from Haines to Juneau.  On the 2 hour "cruise" we spotted a pod of orcas, a mass breaching of sea lions (we smelled them, too), Eldred Rock Lighthouse (100 years old) and a host of other fun things.  Check out the pictures below!

Tomorrow, we will put our car on the Alaska Ferry and sail to Skagway for two days and then it's off to Whitehorse and Haines Junction in the Yukon Territory.
