eagles keep a watchful eye, searching for salmon returning to spawn in

exciting day we'll spend our evening recalling the days events by a warm
fire on the beach.

Camp. The glacier is active, constantly fracturing and calving, filling
the bay with thousands of icebergs and sounds of thunder. We will paddle
throughout the bay, enjoying lush old growth forests of spruce and hemlock
that give way to sheer 3,000-foot rock walls that have been polished
smooth by glacier ice. You'll see thundering waterfalls and icebergs
ranging from crystal-clear to bright blue in every shape and size
imaginable. A truly unforgettable experience!
