We got off the ship and walked a short distance to the White Pass Yukon Route Railroad. We decided to pay and do it as it sounded like a very Alaskan thing to do ($149.00 per person). The ride was about 3-1/2 to 4 hours to travel the approximate twenty miles up to the pass and then back down. We got to see lovely plants, flowers, butterflies – but no goats or bears. Bummer. Saw so many waterfalls! Alaska is so very beautiful!
We were very tired by the time we got back that we took a little nap. (We nap a lot and it seems to be getting worse as we get older.) After our rest we went to dinner at the Four Seasons and then watched the show – a Burt Bacharach tribute called “The Look of Love.” Good show.
As we sailed away we saw a mom and baby bear on shore. Wish we could have seem them up close or at least a little closer but now we can say we saw a bear in Alaska!
