Juneau

Will write more later but wanted to upload some amazing pictures from our hike today.

Mendenhall Glacier

Salmon 

Bear!

Juneau is the state capital. It got to be the state capital because of the......Gold Rush. Alaska was purchase from Russia who had it due to seal fur. Kevin and family did a helicopter ride onto a glacier and then learned about the Iditarod race and even met some of the canine contestants! After learning about the dogs and mushing, they tried their hand at a 2.5 mile dog sled ride. My cousin Sue and I spent most of the afternoon on a beautiful trail hike where we saw lots of salmon, bald eagles,many even a bear! My parents have already been to Alaska so they walked to downtown Juneau to look around. After dinner on the ship, we walked back down to the Red Dog Saloon where they proudly announce if their food and service don't meet your standards...lower your standards! All aboard for our next stop...Skagway!
