Review summary

Touring Glacier Bay National Park, as well as Tracy Arm, and Misty Fjords were the highlights to this trip. Last year we visited in mid-September (at the end of the season) .... many services were closed and weather was poor. This year the visit in August was significantly better weather-wise, and more wildlife viewing of gray whales, humpbacks, black bear, mountain goats, and bald eagles. Great time of year to visit Alaska.
