Surface mist swirls around your kayak as you glide along the shore. Rounding a small headland carpeted with wildflowers and tall grasses, you come in sight of the Lodge, though you can hardly see it nestled behind stately spruce. A movement catches your attention; you catch a glimpse of a Sitka black-tailed deer bounding over a fallen log before vanishing back into the rainforest. Your paddle stills. Silence embraces you. You breathe in the scents of the rainforest and feel like you’re the only person within a thousand miles. And for a few minutes, you are. Whether you stay for a day or a week, Glacier Bay Lodge is your base for all of your Glacier Bay adventures: cruising the Bay, Park Service Ranger programs, kayaking excursions, flight-seeing and more. The Lodge itself features an inviting lobby, full dining facilities, and comfortable rooms connected to the Lodge by boardwalks.
Park Rangers conduct daily nature walks on one- and five-mile trails, the latter ending at an estuary where wildlife and migratory birds are often observed. At the Lodge, the mezzanine offers interpretive displays and informative presentations by the National Park Service.
Curl up with a book near the huge stone fireplace in our lobby, sit on the deck and gaze for hours upon the Fairweather Range and Bartlett Cove, and at night listen to whales breach in the Bay—or simply do nothing at all. Find time for simple pleasures—and for yourself.

There is a generous amount of rain here (Bartlett Cove receives roughly 70-75 inches per year) so you need to dress for this and prepare for changing temperatures -- the temperature is cooler on the water, near the glaciers, and in the mountains.
The key to being properly outfitted in Alaska is to dress in layers.
Essentials:
Waterproof jacket, hat and pants
Insulating layer of wool or fleece
Turtleneck or long-sleeved shirt for layering
Polypropylene underwear tops and bottoms
Warm sturdy footwear (ideally waterproof) and warm socks
Warm hat to cover your ears
Gloves (ideally windproof)
Sunscreen
Lip balm for wind protection
Don't forget your sunglasses & cameras.
