I wrote the following to my son while on my return trip from Alaska 2010. Decided to make it part of my blog. The other day a friend said to me "I would love to go to Alaska but I do not want to do a cruise ship." Here's one way to see Glacier Bay.
Hi Jason,
Sitting here anchored off in a little cove, Reid’s Inlet within Glacier Bay National Park, I was reading the travel books and looking at the paper charts (the boater’s best friend) and thinking about you and how you would love seeing this area. So then I started to think as I read what would be the ideal trip to make and how you would do it.
Alaska Air flies into Gustavus, a small, rural, community serving as the gateway to Glacier Bay National Park. A visit could then include many choices of activities, among them a day cruise up the Glacier Bay from Bartlett Cove, a half-day of fishing and/or whale watching ( I would do the fishing and probably see the whales too while out fishing), kayaking, and hiking just to name a few. And through in wild berry picking to have with your morning cereal as you hike along the trails. You can camp or stay in the Glacier Bay Lodge or other Inn or Lodge options in Gustavus.
It would truly be a jam packed vacation to a destination unmatched in scenery and wildlife.
