This was our best excursion of the cruise and worth every penny. Mike, our guide, was so friendly, enthusiastic and eager to share all the interesting sites on the Klondike Hwy. We saw beautiful waterfalls, several gorgeous lakes and surprisingly, a desert on this diverse and interesting journey. We daw a bear walking right beside the bus, and also several eagles.The lunch stop at the Trading Post seemed a little hokey, but they served delicious BBQ chicken and it was unique getting to eat inside a covered wagon. The Royal Mounties museum and 30+ mounted displays of Alaska wildlife, was very interesting and well done. This truly was a fantastic and extremely enjoyable excursion and a great deal!
