Whale Watching

On Sunday we did a day tour I booked through Viator. The tour company picked us up near the cruise docks and took us up to the Mendenhall Glacier, where we checked out the visitor center and hiked out to the glacier. While it's not a National Park Site, but rather part of the National Forest system, it did have a Junior Ranger program, which Jennifer completed.
Next the tour bus took us Auke Bay Harbor, where we boarded a boat so we could see whales.
We saw several, as well as eagles. We also enjoyed seeing all the mountains surrounding the Juneau area. After our tour we met up with the GWA of Alaska again and had dinner nearby.
