ALASKA!!!!! Part 4 Glacier Bay National Park!

Cruise Days 6 and 7
Glacier Bay National Park: Magnificent! A park ranger and a Tlinget cultural liaison came on board and we were filled with information about the park and native history - and answered every question thrown their way. A great couple of days!

Kayaking up to Reid Glacier (Steve & I kayaked; Kendall photographed)




Lots of critters


 


















Big Bear has a friend!
































It's a sea otter - we saw lots - turns out they're hard to photograph

Simon, the ship's naturalist, is a great photographer!













 The very active Marjorie Glacier - calve (from above) and shoot (from below!)
 























Then it was time for some solid earth - and a hike (run for me!) at Glacier Bay National Park Headquarters on the Forest Trail plus a visit to the Tribal House.



 From the ocean-side and into the lush rain forest...





















 

Wild blueberries!!!
