"Our trip to Glacier Bay in late June was beautiful, complete by tons of wildlife. The park boat is a must to see more of the park, and there are also some short trails and kayaking. We stayed for 3 days, but it’s possible to do it in one day and avoid staying in the poorly-managed Glacier Bay Lodge."
"Instead of the beauty of Alaska, I like to talk about the beautiful people in Alaska. 1. I camped in the Park from 6/16-6/20, the campsite was FREE. 2. The park provided FREE firewoods (probably, the Park rangers got wet and had the wood splitted). 3. If you bring your own kayaks and like to leave there for your next visit, the park provided FREE storage. 4. Alaska airlines lost my inflatable kayak in Seattle during my trip to Juneau, they found it and made a special delivery to the Park campground. 5. Then, believe it or not, the park ranger delivered to my campsite with wheelbarrow and walking 0.25 mile one way. You will see something like these everywhere in SE ALASKA. Alaska is the last frontier and the people still doing business the old fashion way - sincere and the down to the earth. An unforgettable memory. Thanks to Alaskan."
"The regulation set by the National Park service are un-American and over reaching. The national Park service needs to be disbanded and a people-oriented governmental organization needs to take over because it's not just about the animals and the Earth but also the people who live on it and pay for it"
"Beautiful place. Its a must see."
"One of my happiest places on earth. Not much gets better. All of the Park rangers here are INCREDIBLE and go above and beyond. I️ urge anyone visiting to do the longer tour option and go kayaking if you have the time and ability to do so. Don’t forget to visit the tribal house!"
