Beautiful Glacier Bay Alaska
Glacier Bay Alaska National Park and Preserve is a wonderful place to visit on vacation for adventurers, photographers and those who just enjoy the great outdoors.
Most people see Glacier Bay on an
Alaska Inside Passage cruise.
Not only is Glacier Bay beautiful, there is an abundance of marine and terrestrial wildlife, snow capped mountains and deep fjords. There are also fresh water rivers and lakes, ocean coastlines, tidewater glaciers and snow-capped mountains. On a recent cruise to Alaska we had the privilege of seeing this beautiful area.
