More Glacier Bay - The View From Ashore

Most nights we anchored in front of Reid Glacier.  Usually we would head out to day trip in Fluenta to see the tidewater glaciers but we also did hikes from Fluenta in the inlet.  One trip involved the teenagers and I heading up one of the creek beds to get above the tree line and the other was a family trip along the edge of Reid Glacier.

Pretty quiet in Reid Inlet

Except when these guys run their generators all night.

Some great hikes with the teenagers.  No trails so a bit challenging until got to a high enough elevation.

The view to the north as one of the cruise ships goes by.

Checking out the glacier

And yoga time

and more yoga (in hiking boots)

Xtratufs are the fashion in Alaska.  Tough enough for Alaska but not tough enough for Benjamin though as his have already worn out.

Post-hike bonfire below the high water line.

Handy to have a little person to clean mildew.  With the temperatures getting lower, condensation and mildew become more of an issue.

and schooling continues ... Using the ranger station internet before we leave.  If you look closely you can see Fluenta in the background on the dock.  Not too busy there mid September.
