963 June 22, 2023 Dyea and West Creek Road

We spent the morning doing our exercise and other mundane stuff.  Tim took a bike ride in town.

After lunch, we took the Jeep to Dyea. 

Lots of pretty views along the way.

This is a National Historic Site; an old mining ghost town.  We drove out onto the flats.

The wild irises are blooming in great purple swaths.

We took the bridge over West Creek and then the road was dirt and gravel and followed the path of the water.  We could hear rushing falls and there were several places where the water gushed out of the side of the mountain.

We stopped at the overlook and could see the town and two cruise ships in the harbor today.

This evening, we took our dinner to the park near the Skagway River.

We watched a small plane take off toward the mountains.
