Located just fifty miles south of Alaska's capital city, Juneau, the spectacular fjord
of Tracy Arm is comprised of Yosemite-like granite rocks, countless waterfalls, glass-smooth water,
and mountain peaks rising more than 5,000 feet. The "arm" itself penetrates 30 miles into the
Alaskan wilderness, bending between near-vertical mountain chasms thousands of feet tall. Waterfalls
cascade from spruce and hemlock-forested valleys. As our ship meandered slowly around bend after
bend, the Sawyer Glacier, one of the state's biggest glaciers, comes into view wedged at the end of
Tracy Arm. A true high-light of our journey with spectacular view after view, just another day in Alaska.
