Still a great read. Trip one for me was unreal. Yes we did it all spent way too much and had a blast but we loved it. I did become lazy and not do any review and photo posts Boo me.
We are going for round 2 in July 2014 cant wait
Safe travels
JD
JD - have a great time! Wish we were going this year, but looking forward to 2015! Post a review this time around!

So, while we were getting hungry for those Cinnamon buns, right after we left the ranch we pulled off at the main overlook for Emerald Lake. The sun was behind the clouds for our short stop, so the water was a darker blue than the Caribbean look it has when the sun is shining on it. The tropical look of the lake is caused by a chemical reaction between carbonate from the surrounding limestone rock layers and calcium in the lake water, creating a layer of what is called “marl” on the bottom of the lake. Marl is a collection of hard white shells from algae called diatoms. This causes the sunlight entering the water to be reflected back up.
For the record, while I did fine in Chemistry in high school, I bombed it in college. So, where did I find the info from the preceding paragraph? Interpretive signs placed at the roadside pull off explain how the lake gets its color, plus info on local wildlife and the effects of recent climate changes on the surrounding area. Check’em out!

Wildlife Info
Our lesson for the day complete, we rolled a few more minutes down the road and pulled into the Cinnamon Cache. I’d read about it here on CC, and the food was a good as advertised. We had some ham & cheese sandwiches, and sodas, and some giant, tasty Cinnamon buns. The property was actually listed for sale when we were there, and it has sadly closed since our visit. Our bellies full, we headed south towards Carcross, to stop again just couple minutes later to check out the Carcross Desert, known locally as “The smallest desert in the World”. It was a pretty cool and random thing to see in the midst of the snow-capped mountains that surrounded us. A few folks were tearing though on ATVs (not pictured), but we just checked out the sign (see below) and the views and headed down into Carcross proper.

Glad your surgery went well - just wanted to say thank you for all the time you've invested in your trip reports! The information is so helpful in planning and the pictures are awesome.....we leave on June 1st for our first visit to Alaska and after spending hours reading and looking and your pictures I don't know if i'll make it 32 more days! :D Thanks again!
That is FANTASATIC! I hope you have a wonderful trip. Where are you going/what are you doing for your first Alaska adventure? I'm just sorry I get a good run of posts going and then get sidetracked for extended periods of time. I will keep forging ahead - and I'll get as much in as I can before June;)!

Welcome back L.J. Glad to hear your surgery went well and you are close to being back to 100%.
Thanks Tracey! I had PT this afternoon, and I received 5 out of 5 on all my strength tests - functionally healed, although I still have some movements that hurt a little and I still have a bit more range of motion to get back - but I'm almost there:).

I have dreamed of an Alaskan Cruise for years, thank you so much for the adventure and beautiful pictures. Can't wait for the rest of the story:)
ilsteelergrl,
So are you going to go on an Alaskan cruise?!?! If it's your dream - go! It's awesome - our favorite place to visit. If we could move to Alaska we would:D.

It was interesting riding on the quad as it was my first time on an ATV, we had no helmets (so I drove slow – very slow – but it was still fun!), but since we were away from the rest of the group to not ruin the ride for the other folks, we didn’t have the two bear dogs for an early warning system/protection. So I told Bev to hold on tight just in case we ran into one of the elusive bruins on the trail. You can’t outrun a Brown bear on your own two feet, but I figured a quad could! We followed the trail up to the overlook and got a few minutes to just enjoy the views, check out the area a little better, and then we made our way back to the Ranch to drop off the ATV and start making our way back to Skagway. We had a few other stops planned for the return trip since we drove straight out, and as long as the port call was, we were slowly eating away at the day. There was still so much more to see and do!
Bev & I overlooking Emerald Lake (before vacation selfies – taken with a camera! – were "selfies"…and were just called "photos"...:D)
Bev grabbed a shot of me on my first ATV. You can see that I was really warm at that point – shirt sleeves. If I’d had shorts I would have worn them!

On our way back to the car, we passed a beautiful horse with the most amazing eyes. Call me crazy, but I had never seen (and haven’t seen since), a horse with powder blue eyes. They were awesome!!! So here are a couple of shots of the pretty mare and her ice blue eyes.

Time for You Close Up Miss Mare!
Our time at the Emerald Lake Ranch complete (and Bev walking on cloud nine), we piled back into the car and started our return trip. I couldn’t wait to get some Cinnamon Buns at the famous Cinnamon Cache!

L.J. I hope your surgery was successful and you are recuperating nicely.
I've been following along with your trip report as we will be in Alaska this May. I am loving the details and the photos.
I'm wondering if you could tell me what settings you used on your camera for the whale photos. They are stunning. I will be using a 300 zoom lens. I was just wondering if you shoot manual, shutter speed or aperture priority.
Thanks!
disneyfaninaz,
Thanks for the well wishes and the nice comments on the photos. YOu all see the best of the best - you don't see the couple thousand not so good shots! :D
Believe it or not, I often shoot in Program mode and find it to work great much of the time, and just tweek the shutter or aperture settings as I need to. With the whales, however, it was a different story. I shot with shutter priority when the light was softer, and then moved more to aperture priority in the f/9-f/11 range when the sun came out to control depth of field better. Even then, my shutter speeds all fell into the range of 1/500th to 1/1000th, with the whale tail and eagle shots running 1/640th. I hope that helps, and sorry for the delay responding. Have a fantastic time on your trip!

Good luck with your surgery! I do want to say that your other Alaska trip report is what inspired me to book an Alaskan cruise. My DH & DS have always wanted to go, but I haven't. I've put off even thinking about it, I live in Buffalo, NY & since most of my trip planning takes place during the long cold winter months, the last place I want to think about is Alaska! But last year after reading your report & seeing those great pictures, you sure changed my mind! I kept calling my DH in to see the photos, saying "we can see/do this & this & this!" So as soon as the schedule was out this year, I booked us on a southbound cruise for next July (we'll be heading to Europe this year). Can't convince our DD to come with us though - she says she will only go somewhere warm. Her loss - she's in college, so can stay home by herself & now I won't have to pay for a cat sitter! Thanks & hope you have a quick recovery!
wnycruisefam66,
That's terrific- you'll have a wonderful time! It's a shame for your daughter - all our weather has been between the 40s and the upper 70s on our trips. She'll miss a grand adventure. We can related to the cat sitting. We've got a pair - brother and sister - that I got in college and are now 15 years old. The girl developed diabetes a couple of years ago and so now she needs insulin shots twice a day. It makes boarding extra expensive, but we've since found a couple of folks, one in our neighborhood, that allows us to keep them at home for a lot less cost to us and stress to them. Have a great trip and post a review for us when you get back!

Well, I am back in the saddle again (so to speak since I’m in the middle of our horseback riding adventure)! Thank you to all the well wishes – they paid off! The shoulder if 95% healed (just don’t quite have full range of motion behind my back, but a little more every day) – even better than the knee, which I’ve got to get 100% up to speed for our next adventure bear watching at Silver Salmon Creek Lodge in Alaska next summer! So, in the meantime…back to our Yukon adventure!
The waterfall was really more of a series of tumbling rapids making a left turn down through the valley floor, but it was a pretty location nonetheless. Not having ridden a horse but one other time in my life, and with a still cranky lower back (if you follow my posts you’ll see my joints do not seem to like me), it was good to get down and stretch our legs a bit. Even with our ever vigilant bear dogs around it was still a bit of an adrenaline rush to be walking around thinking of possibly coming upon a grizzly. That didn’t happen though, and we were able to soak in the now hot sunshine. While it freezing atop the White Pass getting here, it was now easily up into the 60s or even 70s. Joni said it was not uncommon to get summer temps up into the upper 90s. While Joni waited with the horses and watched over the surroundings from high ground, Bev & I headed down to the river to check it out. Joni also offered to take our picture while we were down there. Yes, I know I look goofy in my rain hat, but I needed something to keep the sun off my head!
Down by the river…
A look back up the rapids to where we had our photo taken
After about 10 or 15 minutes checking things out, we readied ourselves for the ride back to the ranch. Before we got back on our trusty steeds, Bev & I grabbed a couple shots with our travel companions for the day…
Bev with sweet Rosie
My willing and more importantly able pal Carolina
We’d had such a nice ride out that time had slipped away a bit, so our return ride with Joni was a bit more brisk than the ride out…and by a bit more, I mean we didn’t just cantor back to the Ranch – we had a couple of times when we full on galloped. One of those was shortly after we headed back, working our way uphill. As I mentioned while I’ve enjoyed our couple of horseback riding outings, I am by no means a “rider”. When Joni headed up and her horse took off, Carolina took the hint and followed suit – whether I was ready or not! Up the hill we charged for probably 60 seconds or so! I was ok the first 20 seconds, and then I totally lost the rhythm of things, and I started to pitch back and forth in the saddle – boom, bang, whip, crash, smack! I felt like James Bond martini when it was all over – and my otherwise reasonable good back did NOT like the adventure of it all. But…I didn’t fall off (had to hold onto the saddle pommel at one point to do it!), and it was AWESOME to ride full out like that. Most places you get the old nose to tail saunter out and back, and as ugly as it was a couple times, we RODE our horses – we didn’t just sit atop them. We did it a couple more times on the way back, which was much easier as we were up on top of the ranch property then, so while it was in the woods, it was pretty flat..
A shot from on top of Carolina just a bit before the uphill gallop adventure
Before we knew it, our adventure was over and we were back at Emerald Lake Ranch. The next group to go out was already there, so Joni had us drink our horses while she got the next group checked in and ready. Here we are at the water trough…
A well-earned drink for our horses (no bear like Willie & Toby’s horses)…
We got off our horses, let them start to feed on some hay Joni had out for them, and headed to her home/office to use the restroom. While were there she gave us some lemon poppy seed cake, which was terrific. Bev just couldn’t stop smiling from ear to ear – one of our coolest adventures to date! As we finished up and got ready to make our way back to the car, Joni surprised us with an unexpected offer. She said she knew I like taking photos and that if we would like, we could use her 4 quad ATV and follow behind the next group she was taking out (at a distance some as not to disturb them), and could stop and take as many photos along the trail and at the lake as we wanted. We offered to pay her something but she would have none it, so we made out wave the quad for some instructions and then after the next group headed down the trail, we followed along a few minutes later!

Ok folks,
Unfortunately this run is over for the moment as I'll be having surgery tomorrow. Hopefully it'll heal quickly and I'll at least be able to get back on the keyboard and mouse sooner rather than later. To folks planning and getting ready to travel to Alaska this summer - it'll be here before you know it - enjoy!

LJ - have just finished your 2012 report and am current with this one - they have kind of merged in my mind! THANK YOU for sharing your great story telling and amazing photography skills! You've gotten me so excited for our Alaska cruise coming up this June!
A random thought, not even sure which of the two threads it's coming from:
I saw a mention of a snowy owl on your photo bucket list. As a fellow NCer (I'm in Wilmington, loved your Port City Java shout out!), you may know that this year we have several snowy owls hanging out between you and the OBX. Ornithology prof at UNCW says they are juveniles chased out of the arctic by older owls after a very successful breeding season - lots of arctic mice meant more babies than usual survived. Anyway, if you google for sightings, you might be able to bag one, photographically speaking, without a big trip investment.
Can't wait to keep following along with your adventures!
Fa-Li - thanks so much! I had no idea that we had snowy owls in our area - that's great news! It's probably too late for me this year, but I'll keep an eye out for them next season...

Given the time crunch to make our ride, we didn’t dawdle on our way out to Emerald Lake. The Klondike Highway from Skagway through British Columbia for a few miles and on to Carcross in the Yukon is a very easy drive. The road is in great shape, especially considering how much snow it receives each winter (and spring and fall). When we left Skagway it was misty with occasional rain and the upper 30’s, low 40’s. As we reached and passed the White Pass summit, it dropped down to around 29 degrees and the rain turned to snow for a few miles (I was wondering how the roads would be coming back but fortunately we were in the clear). We continued along NW into British Columbia and then into the Yukon.
Welcome to the Yukon!
Once in the Yukon, the weather took a turn for the better, with clouds giving way to breaks of sunshine and climbing temperatures. We saw and passed Carcross and knew we only had a few more miles to go to get to our destination. A few minutes later, we saw the entrance to the Emerald Lake Ranch on the left…
The sign certainly was hard to miss – which was great. Nothing worse than looking for a tiny sign on the side of a strange road…
We pulled in and parked and meet Joni, the owner and our guide for the morning. We arrived with a few minutes to spare and found out we were the only folks scheduled for our trip! So, while I do hate getting up early on vacation, it often pays off going on early excursions – better weather, smaller crowds, less heat, or in this case a de facto private excursion without asking or paying for one. So, in short order we met our horses, saddled up, and headed out in short order on our adventure. Joni had her horse, Trooper, Bev had a horse named Rosie, and I had a beast of a horse named Carolina. That was key for me when we were looking at the excursion since I’m a large guy, and I often exceed the maximum weight restriction for many horseback riding options, and I was relieved when Joni told me during our email conversations that she would have no problem accommodating me. Our first leg of our ride took us through some scattered forest and open trail as we headed toward the overlook to Emerald Lake, and Joni let us know that we were firmly in Grizzly bear country. In addition to Joni’s firearms, Joni had two even better weapons – her trusty dogs!
Better than bear spray
Joni explained to us that the dogs were a great early warning and defense system for bears in the woods, and that with them around bear encounters were rare. Plus, they had a ton of energy and were quite entertaining during our ride. As we rode along, we asked Joni about life in the Yukon, and she shared all sorts of stories. Being just three of us it was easy to chat. Joni had a pretty colorful background, so the stories were numerous. A licensed guide, she was born in nearby Whitehorse, was the first woman to be president of the Yukon Fish & Game Association and was very active both in politics and community outreach. Before we knew it we came up over a hill, and there before us was Emerald Lake…

Emerald Lake and the mountains beyond…
After we spent a few minutes drinking in the views of Emerald Lake, we set off on our second leg towards some whitewater runs/waterfalls that we along the river which of below us and off to the right as we looked at the lake. Along the way we got terrific views of the valley as is sprawled out before us and towards the distant mountains…
We worked our way in and out of little forested areas and open spaces as we made our way from on top of the hill down to the river below. Before long, we made it to our second stop where we got a chance to get off the horses and stretch our legs and take in the beautiful surroundings…

So, ahead of schedule for once, I was able to grab a few photos as we pulled into Skagway before getting off the ship. Skagway is what you would call the end of the line. The Lynn Canal terminates here, with the small town of Skagway wedged in between the mountains looming above. With a population listed under 900, it’s not very big, but the town is laid out in an easy to navigate grid. For arriving ships, there are four main docks. When arriving in Skagway, the docks, from left to right, are the Ore Dock, Broadway Dock, the Ferry Dock (for the Alaska Marine Highway System ferries), and the Railroad Dock. We ended up berthing at Ore Dock. It was a nice spot for the first visit because we could see all of the harbor and downtown off the front and right of the ship, and the Temsco heliport on the left side of town right down by the water. For folks who didn’t go glacier trekking in Juneau, the heliport offers another opportunity to get up into the Juneau Ice Field from another direction. The big attraction for many visitors to Skagway is the White Pass & Yukon railroad. They have trips of varying lengths up into gold rush country, including train only and train and bus or van combo trips (take the train up into the Yukon and the roadway back, or vice versa). They make it super convenient for cruise ship passengers as there are rail line spurs leading to all three main cruise ship docks, so as soon as you get off the ship, you can get on the train. It’s nice if mobility is a concern.
Today, however, we were passing up on this classic excursion to take the drive out pass Carcross in Canada’s Yukon Territory to Emerald Lake for a horseback riding adventure at Emerald Lake Ranch. The Avis rental office is only a few blocks into town – but the walk from the cruise dock into town took a bit longer than I anticipated – remember that when you’re trying to squeeze in some last minutes shopping before leaving town (more on that at the end of the day)! One of the things I learned when researching what to do in Skagway and then booking with Avis was that many of the discount codes and coupons that work for other Avis locations will likely not work for or be honored in Skagway. Make sure you double check your rate and that you’re happy with it. Despite clearly finding that in my pre trip research, a few people were unhappy this morning because they didn’t get the cost break they thought they would. Also, while I’m not an early riser at home, I seem to be on vacation, and it often pays off. In this case I we were due into port at 7:30am, and I was off the ship by 7:40am to go get the car. I was one of the first two people in line, and it was a good thing because it’s a small office (1-2 people), and there was a pretty good line by the time the office opened. I got in, got the car, and headed back to pick Bev up near the Ore Dock, and we were off! We had booked a 10:30am trip with Joni of Emerald Lake Ranch, and she knew we were going to be pushing to make it in time, but we wanted to make sure we had some time to come back at a leisurely pace. So, with me set behind the wheel and Bev with the ultra-handy Murray’s Guide to the South Klondike Highway in hand, we headed up the pass and into Canada in search of adventure!

This morning brought low, thick clouds and dampness. It had rained overnight and it still showed on the decks and railings of the ship. Plus, the air was still heavy with moisture and the promise of more rain to come today. Nonetheless, it couldn’t dampen the excitement for today’s adventure – a drive out to Emerald Lake and some horseback riding in the Yukon! As usual it was quiet and I was alone out on deck – actually pretty much completely alone. I felt like to only person on the whole ship for a while! I think we were now a few days into the cruise, and with such along port stay the day before in Juneau, and a gray sky morning, folks were sleeping in. I, however, coffee in one hand and camera in the other, enjoyed out troll northwest along the fjord known as the Lynn Canal – the gateway to Skagway and the Alaskan gold rush. Watching the towering mountains and tumbling waterfalls as we eased up towards Skagway, it was cool to think that the views I had that morning were essentially identical to the ones that the folks seeking their fortune on steamboats over a hundred years ago saw.
No significant wildlife sightings were in cards this morning, but plenty of geology topography. One of the neat things this morning brought was a spot off the starboard side where a decent sized river was rushing out of the mountains and emptying into the Lynn Canal. The Lynn Canal was filled with dark, dense sea water, and where the glacially fed fresh water met with the sea, there was a clear demarcation between the coffee and cream colored freshwater, and the dark blue/green sea water. You could see a clear separation as the two water sources did not readily mix together right away, which was an interesting thing to see.
Waterfalls were everywhere as well. Similar to the run into Juneau, they slid down the nearly vertical faces of the mountains lining the fjord, crashing into the sea below. Whereas the majority of waterfalls were on the starboard/right side of the ship heading into Juneau, this morning they were predominantly found on the port/left side of the ship. Some long and thread like Juneau, but some were noticeably bigger and more powerful. I love taking photos of waterfalls when I can, especially when I can set up a tripod and do a long exposure to get the wispy cotton candy look, but that would work so we on a moving ship. I’m not sure what it is about waterfalls, but I love them – they’re both primeval and wild, and yet relaxing and calming. I can just sit and watch and listen to them for seemingly ever. No such luxury this morning, but I did get to see a lot of the tumbling down for parts unknown above!

Two worlds colliding – glacially fed, silty freshwater from the surrounding mountains meets the dark, cool seawater of the Lynn Canal

Before long, it was time to head down and grab some breakfast so I could get off the ship quick and make the run to the Avis office to pick up our rental car for our run into the Yukon…

Just what I need for my July 6th Northbound sail on Ncl Sun. Planning to reach Seattle 3rd night, spend a day there and next two and half in Vancouver before cruise. Looks like I can follow your trail most of the time:-). Looking forward to reading more and noting your photography skills. It's a lovely hobby that makes any vacations lot more fun.
kitsVA,
It sounds like you've got a great trip set up! We loved Seattle and could have easily spent more time there, but at least we did get to see some of it. We've now been to Vancouver twice, and scheduling just didn't allow for us to explore the city at all either time. I know most folks love Vancouver, and I hope we get to return again and have a few days like you have to really get out and see the sights. We'd love see you your review when you get back! As for the photography, I do have to remind myself to get out from behind the camera and just enjoy the moment sometimes, but the moments captured also let me more clearly relieve the fun adventures we've been on - I only wish I'd started sooner:).

Just found this thread - what a find! My husband and I are considering a trip to Alaska; your photos and commentary are making our decision much easier! Looking forward to more... :)
Thanks Michele - hopefully you all are leaning towards going - odds are you'll love it!

Sorry about the shoulder! But I benefitted from the delay - because you started posting again in 2014 I was able to find both of your trip reports - amazing photos!! I read the 2012 one first - it matches our Southbound itinerary. Makes me very excited to be going in 3 months.
Thanks so much for all the details and commentary - and for being so patient with other posters....I really had to laugh at how many times you had to answer the camera/gear/lenses question!:D
Linda,
I hope you all have a wonderful time! We have to wait until next year for your next journey north, so we'll be living through you all this year:D. I love answering the questions - camera or otherwise - as often as I can if it's of help to others.

Thanks LJ and Bev for your time .
I am extra excited for my July cruise. What size telephoto lens do you use? Your pics are awesome!

Laura - it's our pleasure - it's fun to share our wonderful times in Alaska. AS for the photos, most of my shots in this review were taken with a Canon 50D DSLR and a Canone 100-400mm L IS (image stabilized) lens. The bear photos in our 2012 review were taken with a Sigma 150-500mm, and a Canon 70-200 f2/8 IS L lens for the closer shots of the bears and the eagle fishing. The rest of the mid range shots on both trips were taken with a Canon 18-200mm IS lens - my main workhorse for regular landscape and people shots. Hope that helps!

LJ and Bev,
WOW! You guys are the best! Thank you for your awesome reviews. I enjoyed every minute I spent today reading about both your 2009 and 2012 adventures. Loved all your photos, but especially the ones of the bears, the breaching humpback, and the eagle catching the salmon.
Wife and I and possibly another couple will be going to Alaska next year, June or July. I'm planning a cruise and land tour. Your reviews have helped me immensely by giving me great ideas of what to do. Thank you so very much! :D
RoobyDoo - GREAT name! Will this be your first trip to Alaska? If so you're in for a treat, whatever you choose to do. I had a blast reading other folks reviews like this, and got a lot of great ideas from them - I'm glad you've enjoyed ours as well. It's great you'll be adding some land touring time on in addition to the cruise itself. We've loved our adventures in both parts of Alaska - and they each offer plenty of different things to do and see - have fun and soak it all in!!!

Great review, thanks! We are going to Soldotna and Homer in May of this year and wondering which bear viewing tour to go on?? Is there one you liked better than the other?
We also booked the Rangeview B&B, it looked and sounded perfect!
Thanks, Carol
Hi Carol,
Thanks for checking out our review, and I'm glad you found some useful things! We loved Rangeview - you should really enjoy your stay there. As for the bear viewing trips, they were both very different and both awesome. Katmai is of course very remote, and there's such a sense of just you and the wilderness, even if only for a few hours, and the number of bears was terrific. Wolverine Creek, on the other hand, was packed with many people fishing, but the bears were actively fishing too, and much more active, and the flight was much shorter and cheaper (almost half the price of Katmai), and plane was bigger and more comfortabe. Plus, the people fishing were highly entertaining when the bears were taking a break:D
