Get Personal With Some Whales
Glacier Bay National Park, AK
Can anything beat the crisp air, listening to whale songs, and a hot cup of cocoa on the deck of a touring cruiser? Located right on Canada’s Yukon Territories border, Glacier Bay gets its name for the mesmerizing glaciers in the area.
There’s always something to do and see with icy waters and exquisite, snow-covered peaks in this national park. The main attraction here is the full-day Glacier Bay Boat Tour to see the glaciers.
But generally, flights don’t leave until the following afternoon, which provides time for the park’s visitors to enjoy a half-day whale watching tour before departing the park. And there’s no need to worry about time to fit it all in.
Guests can check out of Glacier Bay Lodge before leaving for the tour, and the lodge’s employees will have your luggage waiting for them at the airport.
Whales are jumping, wild polar animals such as sea otters, puffins, and grizzlies make this trip a natural wonder filled delight for all new and seasoned travelers alike.

Have been through most of the western US Parks, and loved them all. The trip to some of the parks can be depressing given living conditions of natives. Haven’t been to the parks in Maine, still on my list, but have been through most of the western parks in winter and summer. Can’t be beaten. Plan to go again.
