Here are a few photos of the ports we visited along the way
*Icy Strait Point- near Hoonah, AK , a Tlingit village
*Skagway
We were able to ride the Whitepass & Yukon Route Railway, which is a rather steep climb and has interesting gold rush history. Below a view looking back at the port and cruise ships from the train 
*Haines- on the recommendation of one of my friends who used to live there, we took the ferry from Skagway to check out Haines. It was also a very beautiful little port town with lots of dogs and friendly people....and home to a huge Bald Eagle Preserve.

AND there was a beach...and the weather was beautiful and there were lots of kids out playing in the water...a site we never considered we would see in Alaska!
*Juneau- our final port was Juneau, where unfortunately we didn't have much time to explore the city, but we were able to go on a whale-watching tour, which also included a trip to Medenhall Glacier and a yummy Salmon lunch at Orca Point Lodge.
