Normal
Skagway: I suggest the White Pass rail trip. Especially good if you like history...and trains.Juneau: Take the bus from the dock at $10 round trip per person to the Mendenhall glacier. I think the visitor center's an extra $3.There is a small viewing platform at the far end of the parking lot. I believe it's actually for bear viewing. Even if no bears you will see salmon spawning.Mt Roberts tram is also right at the dock. A beautiful view from the top. Don't need to pre-book either. If it's cloudy or rainy you won't want to go up. Not for you if you're afraid of heights.Whale watching with Orca enterprises (Capt. Larry) is terrific. You will see humpback whales upclose and personal. Possibly Orca as well.Ketchikan: Duck tour is silly but fun. Just walking up to Creek street is really nice. Take the funicular up and walk down the married man's trail. There are totems up top by the hotel there. The salmon ladder is next to Creek street as well.
