Alaska 2013

We took a trip with Lindblad Expiditions and National Geographic to the Inside Passage of Alaska. Our ship was the National Geographic Sea Lion which has about 40 guest cabins. It was a fantastic trip with zodiac rides, hiking in the Alaskan Rain Forest and bog, a Float Plane site seeing tour over LeConte glacier, many more glaciers and ice fields and plenty of wildlife especially Orca whales.

How beautiful. Thanks for sharing. These bring back some very fond memories from our trip there several years back. But wow, I can see a difference in the glaciers. Have melted quite a bit.
