Juneau, Alaska

A trip to Juneau, Alaska in July 2016 for a few days including a whale watching tour and a trip to Gustavus and Glacier Bay National Park. Delta had a fare sale from Oklahoma City (OKC) from OKC to Juneau Alaska for around $360 round trip. I went to Alaska the previous year, visiting Denali National Park and Kenai Fjords National Park.

So I booked a trip with my then girlfriend and 2 of our friends. Then we broke up. Then we still went on this trip. What could possibly go wrong? Well it got off to a rocky start but was fine after that and we had a pleasant time in Juneau.

The ex and I had planned a trip to Gustavus to visit Glacier Bay National Park, so we did that as well. It was not as good as Kenai Fjords National Park, but maybe I just had a good weather day in Seward. Either way, I witnessed plenty of glaciers and wildlife around Glacier Bay National Park. A rapidly changing landscape. We took a Cessna Caravan 204 from Juneau to Gustavus. We took an Alaska Air 737 back to Juneau.

Also, we went on a whale watching tour with Juneau Whale Watch. It was a few hours in a very comfortable boat. I would highly recommend to anyone traveling to Alaska.
