The Big Trip Part VII

Day 7

Tracy Arm

We spent the day on the boat going up a passage of Tracy Arm Fjord to the Sawyer Glacier.  It was pretty amazing scenery. The veranda outside our room was quite nice for watching everything go by.

There were huge rushing waterfalls everywhere.

I found myself talking so many pictures. The rocks, the cliffs, the mountains, all beautiful.

We saw lots of small icebergs. They were amazingly blue. And on one, we saw a mama seal with her pup.

The glacial water was a strange, almost teal blue.

After several hours, we finally saw the glacier.

It was a cool sight, so massive, but crazy to think of how big it used to be just a few short years ago.

It was a good day of scenery for the whole family. I'm so glad we were all able to go on this trip.
