In September 2024, Carrie and I took a cruise to Alaska. We took over 650 pictures (certainly could have taken many more), and divided the 29 we dedicated to our Etsy Shop into 6 groups: Out to Sea, At Sea/Mendenhall Glacier, Skagway, Glacier Bay National Park, Ketchikan, and Return to Vancouver.
This section, Skagway, is comprised of five images, Alaska – Untitled #132 through #136.
After leaving Juneau we sailed to Skagway, an unincorporated but populated area in one of the many inlets that make up Alaska’s jagged coastline.
Our excursion in Skagway was to take a bus from near where our cruise ship docked to a train that would take us to higher elevations in the mountains and into Canada near White Pass, and then take the bus down the mountain, making two photo op stops, back to Skagway to board the ship for the next part of our cruise.
This picture was taken during one of the two bus photo stops as we were returning to Skagway from the train ride up to White Pass along the Canadian border. It’s one of dozens of waterfalls we saw during our excursion that day and it was a pleasant relief to be able to take a picture without having to balance on that shaky rear platform on the train.
