Wide Open Spaces - Alaska 2009

Glacier Bay National Park is comprised of 3.3 million acres of mountains, glaciers, forests, and waterways. It is part of a 25 million acre World Heritage Site, one of the world's largest protected natural areas designated by UNESCO.

On Monday, we spent the day cruising Glacier Bay National Park. The day was overcast and drizzled rain on and off. The Park Ranger told us that there was fresh snow on some of the peaks over 6000 feet in elevation. We lucked out because the rain actually stopped and the misty haze lifted at the glaciers. We were spell bound and spent most of the day on our balcony leaving only for lunch and dinner.

The day started out with us cruising past Cape Spencer Lighthouse and embarking Southeast Alaska Pilots. Around the Cape Spencer area, several whales were spotted. At Bartlett Cove, Glacier Bay National Park Rangers board the ship and provided commentary during the day. The ship made viewing stops at Grand Pacific Glacier, Margerie Glacier, and Johns Hopkins Glacier. The Park was awe inspiring!
