Skagway to Glacier Bay National Park

6/19/13


We departed this morning around 11:30 for the quintessential Alaska experience “bush plane flying”.  Our pilot brought along a Cessna 206 six-seater for our flight to Juneau and then Gustavus, Alaska.  Weather was clear and a hundred miles visibility down the Lynn Canal.  We arrived at the Glacier Bay National Park Lodge around 3 PM, took a hike in the forest, and had a wonderfully sophisticated dinner of salmon, shrimp, and halibut overlooking Glacier Bay.  Tomorrow up early for a cruise in the Bay.  The last picture was taken about 11 PM, this is about all the sunset you can see up here now.  PS – sunset was at 12:48 AM and sunrise at 3:06 AM.
