    Kristine, now the mums coming out of me, you need to buy some more warm clothes otherwise your going to get sick - warm inside, cold out, a recipe for colds and coughs. The train ride was stunning, makes me want to go to Alaska even more (mind you I despise the cold) but I will grin and bear it to go there. Look forward to more Alaska blogs 😊

    That’s awesome that you already did the Juneau hike! If you really have a more time and want to get a good workout in, you can hike from the left side of town and bypass the tram all the way up past the waterfall. I’m assuming later in the summer, you will get some warmer days and some beautiful wildflowers up there! Enjoy!

    • @kristinekugler
      @kristinekugler  2 месяца назад

    We were on Ovation to Alaska last week, got to meet some of the dancers at the zoom desk. The shows were amazing you are all so talented!!!! Had a wonderful week!
    We were on Ovation 5 years ago to Alaska and did the train ride then and it was amazing!!!
    In Skagway try a dough boy they are delicious sold next to Glacial coffee house. In Victoria try a beaver tail, also very delicious.

    Another Juneau recommendation is to hike to the Mendenhall glacier. You can get a round trip bus ride for about $10 from downtown Juneau and get in an easy two mile hike to see it. Just bring that warm Alaska jacket as in May and June it’s still cold. You can also take a plane or helicopter but that’s a lot more than $10! 😃

    Thanks for a great video. Brought back great memories. Loved that railway, and good to see those rickety bridges still standing!
    We used to sail to, and stop at a tiny place called Icy Passage/Strait? (for whale watching trips)and I think there was a pizza place that sold fish pizza...!
    Used to love Juneau. Trips to glaciers and, I think, Walmart?

    • @kristinekugler
      @kristinekugler  2 месяца назад

      Yes we do go to Juneau!! I did that mini hike last week, just because I only got to the waterfall before we had to turnaround to get back onboard. Hopefully I can hike all the way up one of these days when the weather is nice!

    Another fun video. Your movie of the White Pass Railroad is better than mine ... more happy people in it. I must recommend exploring the 'Cathedral of St. Michael the Archangel' in Sitka. I believe it was built when Sitka was still the capital of Russian America. The artifacts and art inside (like The Sitka Madonna) are unlike anything else and add to a truly unique day in Alaska. First time in Juneau? Weather permitting, you can ride the tram to the top of Mt. Roberts. Careful, Eve might see a real bear up there.

    • @kristinekugler
      @kristinekugler  2 месяца назад
