| Stunningly beautiful glaciers...towering snow-capped mountains...spectacular wildlife...lush rainforest...and mile after mile of pristine coastline. Totaling 3.3 million acres, Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve holds a wealth of natural wonders. You'll find endless opportunities for discovery and adventure here. Highlights of your visit will include the Margerie and Grand Pacific Glaciers, two towering masses of ice and snow rising 250 feet above the waterline and stretching another 100 feet below the water. |

A backdrop for Bartlett Cove, the Fairweather Mountain range stretches 15,320 feet into the heavens. Mount Fairweather is taller than any peak in the other 49 states. |
|
| This is a remote, unspoiled area with few roads. Visitors must arrive by boat or plane. (Nearby Gustavus, 9 miles from the Lodge, is a short flight from Juneau.) See Getting Here for details. There are several miles of well maintained trails winding through the rainforest and along the beaches, but the best way to see the park is by boat—boat tours are available through the only lodging in the park, Glacier Bay Lodge. |

| Although the Park is open year-round, the park's Visitor Center (upstairs at Glacier Bay Lodge) and most services are open from roughly mid-May to mid-September. Winter services are limited. Entrance to the park is free. For more about the park, go to National Park Service. Don't miss an experience you'll cherish for a lifetime...viewing the glaciers in one of America's premier natural wilderness areas, Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. |
