The flight into Seattle takes you past Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams and Mt. Rainier. This is either Hood or Adams. Rainer has two humps.

A couple of orca whales in the Misty Fjords National Monument. They aren't called them Misty Fjords in here for nothing. Seemed very grey and that has a lot to do with typical weather patterns.

When you cruise into Ketchikan, you want to be out on the decks, looking for golf balls in the trees. That's the scret to spotting bald eagles, which are like crows down here. Ketchikan and Sitka are best places to see them.

You can always see sealions on the buoys in the Stephens Passage outside Juneau. They play 'King of the Hill', trying to keep other lions off the buoy.

An immature bald eagle. They don't get their white heads and tail feathers until they are nearly five years old.
|
This lighthouse sits on the tip of Admiralty Island, which by the way, hosts the largest concentration of brown bears in Alaska. On five trips, I've only seen one along the shore.

Adult and immature eagle in tree on the campus of the Native American school in Sitka. Natives come from all across Alaska to take classes here.

This is the cruise ship that scuttled at Icy Strait in May of 2007. The Empress was docked at Skagway on this particular trip.
|
Cruise ship gets ready to make the turn from Prince William Sound into the College Fjord. You get an idea how far up the mountains and into the valleys that these glaciers can sometimes stretch.
