Prince William Sound vs Glacier Bay
 
On our trip in September, we are really keen to see glaciers up close and in particular, carving glaciers, but we can't decide whether or not to take in Glacier Bay. Given that we would do a day cruise in Glacier Bay, and to do it, we would need to put in a fair deal of extra travelling (Juneau-Gustavus return), is it worth it or would our time and money best be spent in Prince William Sound?

Wow babbalu...

Tough dilema!

Time wise do both if you can. They are very different...to me.

It is VERY expensive to do Glacier Bay and the cost compared to PWS is substantial.

I did both but sounds like you need to pick...

For glaciers up close and calving (no carving allowed...smile) Tracy Arm is 100% the place to be.

You read my Trip Report so you probably know where I am coming from...

Happy Pondering,
