Glacier Discover-Alaskan Railroad

We all bought tickets for a great Alaskan Railroad trip to see some of Alaska's Glaciers and other beautiful scenery.

All aboard the Alaskan Railroad Glacier Discovery.

Our first sight of a glacier. I zoomed in on this one. It's the icy blue area on the right side of the picture.

We went through 5 tunnels on our ride. Everyone was supposed to hold their breath going through, but I think they cheated.

Some people who took the train with us, took a side excursion down the rapids. Others took a hiking excursion. We stopped on our way back and picked them all up. Everyone survived.

I hung out the window and snapped our train going around a curve. Beautiful snow-covered mountain ahead of us.

Say "Hi" to Joe hanging out the window.

Here's another glacier. See the icy blue area in the middle of the picture.

We saw many gorgeous waterfalls. Where does all that water come from?

This is Spencer's Glacier. It was very large and beautiful. You really have to see for yourself. Pictures don't do them justice.

Glacier in the middle, beautiful valley below. Sooooo beautiful! I think this would make a great jigsaw puzzle.

Snow-capped mountains, beautiful rapids and snow banks in the foreground.

This a terrible picture, but I had to post it to prove that we saw eagles. In the tree on the right is a bald eagle on it's nest. There is another eagle on top of the tree on the left.        REALLY!!!!
