Yeah! Something completely different. I joined my sister for a National Geographic/Lindblad Cruise of the Inside Passage.
We started in Juneau. Nice town wedged between steep mountains and the sea front.
Large cruise ships!
We arrived a day early, so we took the opportunity to ride the tram up from town to hike beautiful ridges.
Terrific flowers.
Clouds parted just enough for some nice views.
The next morning found us cruising up the Endicott Arm towards the Dawes Glacier
Hopped in the Zodiacs to get a close (but not too close!) view of the glacier calving. Saw two good sized ones and a few smaller ones. Sounded like thunder!
Intrigued by the vegetation pattern here. Hard to capture but really cool.
Next morning we sailed to Petersburg
Seal jumps in as we arrive.
Petersburg is a thriving fishing town. Season was just ramping up.
Went hiking near Petersburg. An insect eater!
Back on board. More amazing sea & mountain scenery.
Pulled into Security Bay for beachcombing and kayaking.
