By Motorcoach Through the Yukon & Alaska

This was the only day of the entire trip that we had bad weather. At the Portage Glacier we were greeted by very heavy rain and strong wind. Though it abated once out of the Portage Valley, the rain continued almost all day. This is the Seward Highway as I was northbound back to Anchorage at 3:26 p.m., after dropping my group off at their ship - for much more information about what that experience is like, see our Cruising Alaska pages.
