We hope the following information will help you plan your trip. We have included a directory of visitor services offered in and around the park. The park is open the rest of the year, but visitor services are very limited.
Rain is the norm in southeast Alaska.
It is best to be prepared to enjoy the park in any kind of weather, especially rain. Suggested clothing includes waterproof boots, rain gear, a hat, gloves, wool or pile layers or a warm coat. There are no roads that lead directly to Glacier Bay and no Alaska state ferries. The park's headquarters, visitor information station, visitor center and the Glacier Bay Lodge are located in Bartlett Cove which is 10 miles by road from the small town of Gustavus. Gustavus is located about 65 miles northwest of Juneau.
