SE Alaska-beautiful when you can see it

SE Alaska sure is beautiful when you can see it.
I climbed Mount Juneau with my son today. It was a pretty clear day and we could see seemingly forever (all the way as far as the Glacier Bay area). There was an endless sea of peaks visible in almost all directions. It was a grand site for sure. For dinner we flew to the Taku lodge and ate dinner there. Blue skies and incredible scenery.
Two days ago though, we climbed over the Gold Ridge, Gastineau Peak and Mount Roberts in a whiteout and didn't see a thing.
SE Alaska sure is beautiful when you can see it. Three more mountains, the Chilkoot Trail and a short rafting trip are still to go. We're hoping for some good weather, but we'll see.
