This is the final section of the Skagway to Carcross to Skagway pictures. As you can tell I really, really enjoyed this drive. Some of the pictures may look like repeats of previous pictures (Tormented Valley) but they aren't. I stopped there both going and coming because it was such a beautiful area. On the way back we saw another bear. Notice how black he is compared to the other bear even though the other bear was a black bear also. One thing I forgot to mentioned in my first post about this trip is that we were just out of Skagway and I was just getting up to speed when a bear ran across the road in front of me and I had to slam on my brakes. When we got back to Skagway I took a little side road to get a view of Skagway. It's not a good view but you get the general idea of how it looks. Added waterfall at bottom to satisfy Betsy. :) |
Just outside Carcross we ran upon this desert like area. It is really about a square mile of sand dunes. It's very odd to see it out in the mountains no matter what it's called. |
About 15 miles pass Carcross was Emerald lake. It was really beautiful in person. This is where we turned around and headed back to Skagway. |
Another shot of Emerald lake. |
We saw another bear on the way back and naturally had to stop. |
