Creator's Key Takeaways
i was there about six months ago it's one of the most memorable places i've visited in the us
the only way to get here is by boat or plane so you'll be traveling along what's called the marine highway
i recommend the tracy arm fjord the boat will pick you up right in the downtown and you'll pass through the marine highway to get to a glacier
the trails are extraordinary they're well paved and really well marked the reason why these trails are so well paved is they were actually paid for by the cruise ships
