I may be finding myself in Skagway Alaska this year. I won̢۪t be able to do Brooks, but I̢۪m wondering if there̢۪s an awesome wildlife adventure i should do while I̢۪m there. I̢۪m thinking icebergs/whales ?
Do you have any recommendations? I need some help! thanks! |

| If I found myself in that area with some time, I would look at what tours might be available in the Alexander Archipelago; I'd be particularly interested in Glacier Bay NP. |

Why do they interest you? (I don't know the Alexander Archipelago -- I'll have to look it up. Thanks!)

| Google "Alaska Glacier Bay NP" and click on Images... |

| In addition, there are lots of wildlife tours as this is some truly wild area. Over 1000 islands stretching along about 300 miles of coastline. |

| It may not relate to what you can do, but check out Alaskan Dream Cruises, a locally-owned company that Penelope and I took a 49-passenger, rustic small boat cruise with, and pointed Mark Wiley at, and he and his dad did it, and it is just fantastic for everything you'd want: glaciers, folklore, marine wildlife, whales, kayaks and RIBs, naturalist accompanies, reasonably proceed, very very enjoyable. NOT a cruise ship. I don't know under what circumstances are getting you to Alaska, but if you can tack on 5-6 days for oe of those cruises you'll never, ever regret it. |

 Neat has been on an Alaska cruise a few years ago. Don't know if she was anywhere near where you are going, but she may have some thoughts.

| Last time I was up in Alaska was in 1981, and I was just a child. SO long ago and only in Anchorage area with a few trips up more remotely on the Russian river for some fishing. Portage Glacier was so gorgeous and one of my favorite places. To be honest I found all of Alaska and can̢۪t wait to see what you capture as I have no doubt you will create amazing images! |

That's the type of thing I was looking for, but hoping for something a bit shorter. We might only have a 3-4 day type of availability. I would love to get as much wildlife as I could. So far, everything seems to need a week or more. Though their 5 night, 6 days might be feasible. |

That's just it -- there's so much, it's hard to know where to start! |

You would not regret it if you managed to eke out some extra time. Trip of a lifetime. SO interesting... |

Sure have, Skagway was by far the funkiest town we visited in Alaska  we absolutely loved it! You have to do a whale cruise, pretty expensive but worth it! The water rafting trips are spectacular also. |

We really enjoyed our trip on the White Pass Railroad, which left and returned to Skagway. Just beautiful!
