Glacier Bay/Gustavus, Alaska Overview

This small Alaskan town holds the distinction of being surrounded on three sides by Glacier Bay National Park, one of the crown jewels of the U.S. National Park System. Those drawn to this area will invariably feel the raw power of the Alaskan wilderness. In addition to glacier-clad fjords, you can see 15,000-foot mountains and abundant wildlife including grizzly bear, wolf, and moose; take a whale watching tour; or charter a sport fishing boat and explore the Icy Strait - an area known for some of the best fishing on earth.
