Skagway

After Juneau we headed north to Skagway. Skagway is one of my favorite little towns in Alaska. It was one of the largest populated towns in during the Yukon gold rush and the whole town still looks like it is stuck in 1898. We spend the day on a speed boat tour and then on a train ride up to Canada. 

 While out on the speed boat, this whale came up 15 ft away from us. We were all in awe of the size and beauty of this creature, but as soon as he dove back down under water I was nervous that he would re-surface under our boat. 

My little brother received his call to serve a mission for our church while we were in Skagway. He was called to serve in Lubbock, Texas and will be speaking spanish.
