Leaving Skagway

In the far distance you can see still the Pacific Ocean, where the port of Skagway was my stop after the Inside passage. In my original plans I wanted to stay one day in this place but when I learned the weather would be bad next day, and on this day the sun would be here for a while I re-booked my scenic train trip to Carcross immediately. I was happy I did because next day it was raining a lot, and I wouldn't have seen much of the great landscapes!
Teun van Dijk attended me and asked me about this trainjourney, I already had forgot, beacuse I posted a picture much earlier and i thought that should do it for this day (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/20005476590). I guess I am wrong, and there is much more material from this scenic train ride! I probably will come back with more.

From 11 june till the 25th of July, I traveled in Canada. Starting in Brighton Ontario, where my sister lives at the border of an amazing part of lake Ontario, I flew to Vancouver, and Vancouver island where I took the boat at Port Hardy to take part 1 of the Inside passage, to Prince Rupert in BC. Two days later I took part 2 to Skagway in Alaska, from where i took a scenic train through the Rockies to Whitehorse and further on by car to Kluane National park in the Yukon district. Whitehorse is situated at the border of the Yukon. Frow there I flew back to Vancouver, rented a car, and traveled three weeks in the BC- and Alberta Rockies, visiting the famous, and less famous Nature parks like Banff and Jasper. Last few days back to Brighton Ontario to enjoy lake Ontario once more, before going home. A picture of my itinerary can be found on Facebook (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152940536581759&set...).

4000 pictures later, it is quite a task to show the right stuff, although the stunning scenery guarantees at least a few great shots to share. Objective will be to make a book (for myself mainly), and that might take a while.

I hope you will enjoy the impression of my travel, one that equals earlier journeys to Alaska and south America, this journey was the first in the digital era, and equally intensive because of all the hiking activities every day on and on. I loved every minute of it.
