We woke up to another cloudy day but with a mountainous terrain out our balcony.
We had a tour booked through Viator to include learning about the Gold Rush and also going to the Gold Rush cemetery.
As we left the ship, we sighted a whale right in front of our ship. Unfortunately, I did not have my phone out to take a picture.
We met our tour guide and traveled in a tour van with 12 other people.
She drove through town talking about what it was like in the late 1800s.
Some of the buildings were from that time and like all gold rush towns this one had a red light district too.
As we drove out of town we started climbing a mountain. Across the ravine, we could see the White Pass train that we took last year.
We made it to the top and took pictures by the Alaska sign. Bruce is growing a beard.
We stopped by a nice waterfall.
We also stopped at an overlook of Skagway.
The mountains were snow-covered and we had a few snow flakes mixed with rain.
The cemetery was old and we did a little hike to get there.
It was a very nice, fun excursion with Alex, the owner of Local Skagway Day Trips.
As our vessel sailed away, we took in the breathtaking mountains from our balcony.
Tomorrow we were supposed to go cruising at Hubbard Glacier but the captain announced we will not be going there due to time constraints in getting to Whittier. So it will be just another sea day!
