Explore Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve
Introduction
From the snow-capped mountain tops to deep fjords, tidewater glaciers and freshwater streams, Glacier Bay National Park is a land of contrast just waiting to be explored...
Find your way through a vibrant land and seascape that supports a spectacular variety of flora and fauna while you discover the adaptablility of nature as life returns to areas that magnificent glaciers have only recently surrendered...
Start in Gustavus...
 Unless you
own your own seaworthy boat or airplane and are a skilled navigator,
you must begin your experience of Glacier Bay in the same way 99% of
all other people do: You must first arrive to the lovely little community
of Gustavus in Southeast Alaska.
This charming little "town"
has less than 500 year round residents, but sees an influx of many thousands
more over the summer months. The reason
for this is because Gustavus has become the internationally recognized "Gateway to Glacier Bay National
Park".
 The official entrance to
the park along with the Glacier Bay Ranger Station headquarters and
official Glacier Bay Lodge is located only 8 miles from Gustavus. With the only airport in
the area that gets you close to the park headquarters, Gustavus IS your starting point to experiencing Glacier Bay in Southeast Alaska.
A colorful alaskan history
and fascinating geological past are part of the magic of the community
of Gustavus. Literally surrounded by mountains, Gustavus lies amidst
some of the most impressive and majestic scenery and pristine wilderness
areas left in the world.
