We entered Endicott at 5 AM. We were up as the clocks turned back an hour and we've been getting up early anyway. The water is glacier blue and the skies are clear. No marine fog today. We were followed by a National Geographic boat up the channel. We were here in early May and couldn't even get up the channel. We couldn't get to the glacier as there were too many icebergs! It's almost July and there is still a lot of ice in the water.
We got to Juneau and went up Mt. Robson on the tram. The sky was clear and the view was amazing! The picture below is looking south.
This picture is looking north. There were four ships in town. Discovery Princess, Majestic Princess Noordam and Splendor of the Seas. Lots of people.
After our trip up the mountain we purchased a ticket to Mendenhall Glacier along with a city tour. It didn't leave until 4:30 and that worked out so well. Our 53 passenger bus had 17 passengers and Mendenhall was very quiet. The scenery is amazing. Pictures of Mendenhall Glacier will have to be on tomorrow's blog. Have I mentioned the horrible internet?
