When we stopped on the cruise in Skagway, the 5 of us went on a biking excursion. We went to the summit, which is the road that that is taken as a means of communication to the other 48 states. We did not have to do a lot of pedaling for the first several miles, but really had to be in control of the brakes. It rained on and off, so we have rain gear. As you can see by Molly, at our first stop, we were having a good time. We had passed the steepest point, but we were ready to go over a bridge, and I for one will admit, I could not look down as we went over it. I just kept saying, “keep your eyes straight ahead!”.
This was one of the views we had coming down. Mountains in the background, clouds, of which several times we were riding our bikes through. Very scenic, but as we got past the initial part of the summit, then we had to be pedaling the bikes.
This was one of our stops along the way. Very cool waterfall in the background. We were not used to having to ride in warmer clothes, much less all of the rain gear, but stayed nice and dry. Very fun ride, one we will all remember. And once again, a great way to do sightseeing!
Keep moving everybody, and enjoy the scenery along the way!
