Departing from Seattle, WA • Saturday, August 9, 2008 Juneau (August 11, 11:00 a.m.–9:30 p.m.)–Located at the foot of grand mountain peaks on the Gastineau Channel, the town of Juneau has the massive Mendenhall Glacier and the immense Juneau Icefields at its back door. Visit the rustic shops in town. Or get out and kayak, dogsled, raft, bike, hike, heli-hike, flightsee, or fish. There’s no end to the adventure because we’re in port long enough to truly take advantage of the long daylight hours. Cruising Hubbard Glacier (August 12, 1:00 p.m.–6:00 p.m.)–North America’s largest glacier, this Ice Age titan measures 5 miles in width and a staggering 40 stories in height where it meets saltwater at Disenchantment Bay. As you glide along this surreal blue marvel, watch for seals basking on ice floes, listen for the loud deep rumble and mighty crack of calving icebergs and take in the dazzling St. Elias Mountain Range, a 150-mile-long chain of snowcapped peaks piercing the horizon. A Park Ranger and a Tlingit Native speaker will join the ship for the glacier viewing. Sitka (August 13, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.)–Sitka is blessed with abundant marine wildife. Get out on the water aboard a dayboat or kayak, and you’ll pass seal haul-outs and seabird rookeries filled with nature’s sights and sounds. Ketchikan ( August 14, 7:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.)–Built out over the water and climbing weathered stairways, Ketchikan clings to the shores of Tongass Narrows. Visit Creek Street, the Tongass Historical Museum, Totem Bight State Park, and the Saxman Village. There are numerous galleries exhibiting Native art and works by talented local artisans. A floatplane flightseeing trip to breathtaking Misty Fjords National Monument is a transforming adventure not to be missed. Victoria, b.C., Canada (August 15, 6:00 p.m.–Midnight)–Stroll through the charming downtown of this very British city, with its double-decker buses, turreted castles, fine British woolens, tea, and china. Or just outside the city, visit the lush flora and fauna of Butchart Gardens. Concluding in Seattle, WA • Saturday, August 16, 2008 |

response. Spiritual growth, renewal, encouragement, and of course feasting on dozens of Christian music live performances, are all part of the Spirit West Coast experience. Add in fun for all ages plus fellowship with friends and family, and you’ll have summed up the Spirit West Coast experience.
