Hoonah-Angoon Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

More than 13,000 square kilometers of mountains, glaciers, and forests are in front of our eyes. The tens of stories of glaciers collapsed not far away, and ice borne over the sea. Our cruises enter the Alaska Glacier National Park from the Ice Gorge, only a few degrees in temperature, but let us feel the pure land of the Earth at close range. On the cruise, you can see the otters, the sea lions backstroke on the water, the sun, the brown bears wandering on the side of the mountain, the setting sun falls into the sea, here is the secret of the Ice Age.

Cruise Glacier Bay National Park

Endicott Arm and Dawes Glacier

Most first-time Alaskan cruisers probably choose the Glacier Bay cruise, but we heard it can be difficult to see the glaciers there, so we chose the Endicott Arm and Dawes Glacier cruise on the Discovery Princess - no regrets. The captain brought us pretty close to the Dawes Glacier early in the morning (~5-6am). We spent some time admiring the beautiful glacier nestled in the mountains while surrounded by floating ice chunks and ribbon waterfalls. These areas cannot be accessed by land, so we’re glad we managed to see this area on the cruise. #us #usatravel #alaska #glacier

Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve

One of Alaska’s nicknames is “The Last Frontier,” and when you’re standing on the edge of a 15,000-foot cliff and gazing at the massive, ice-covered glaciers below, you’ll realize why the explorers of the past felt so strongly that they had reached the end of the world. It isn’t easy to climb the mountains of the Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. Their terrain is difficult, and their weather is unpredictable. Some mountaineering expeditions can take a month or more. If you have the time, however, or if you’re just interested in views unlike any other, the Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve will provide an incredible experience for those who are adventurous enough to take it on.
