I agree with the recommendation for the White Pass and Yukon Rail trip. We initally though that $99 was a little steep for a 23 mile train ride, but it was breathtaking. The train itself was really nice and well restored and the narrator through the entire trip was informative and light. You'll have a great time. Bring lots of film, disks and memory cards!

In Juneau, you have to make time to go to the Red Dog Saloon. The singer/entertainer was a hoot! The place is a lot of fun and the food there, was very good too.   The city itself was mystical.

The Mendenhall Glacier was very nice also. We couldn't believe the amount of people that were swimming in water a half a mile from the glacier with huge chunks of break ice floating among them. Go for the taxi, although the tour driver was very informative also.

Ketchekan was just beautiful. Foggy, misty and all. The Lumberjack show was well worth the moey and very entertaining. The bar across the street gives you a free glass when you buy a beer with the coupon from the show.   The salmon were jumping out of the water right along the roadway behind the show area.

We wouldn't hesitate to go back in a hearbeat!   We sailed the Celebrity Mercury on June 24, 05.
