We awoke to blue skies and sunshine in Skagway . This little town was founded as a result of the Klondike gold rush . Many of the buildings are original to the period, and it's quite a tourist attraction. My favorite part, however, was the surrounding mountains. I would love to return here someday. The Coast Mountains along the Klondike Highway between Skagway and the Canadian border: We climbed by road to 3800 feet surrounded by 6000-7000 ft mountains. Sunset on the Lynn Channel. These pics were taken around 9:30 PM. The combination of water, mountains, and the changing sky was so beautiful. We stayed on our balcony into the night not wanting to miss anything. We saw several whales - spouts and one tail. More tomorrow...
