SheriHOST
So we had two Glacier Days, the first of which was this really foggy, cloudy day.
SheriHOST
And then we had Glacier Bay and Marjorie Glacier.
SheriHOST
What do you remember about the Glacier Day?
JuniorGUEST
Well, I remember that it was an exceptionally beautiful glacier day.
SheriHOST
close and maybe they got a good view, but I think we got an exceptional view.
SheriHOST
It was pretty great.
SheriHOST
So Glacier Bay, I got to say, seeing the sea otters that day, we don't know what happened, but there was like a sea otter convention happening in Glacier Bay.
SheriHOST
And combined with the sunshine and all the mama sea otters with the sea otter pups on their chests, it just...
ScottHOST
All right.
RyanHOST
But we are going to two new places we didn't go last time, um, which is Ketchikan and Glacier Bay.
RyanHOST
Last time we did the Dawsons and, what's it, E- Endicarm or whatever, and Dawsons Glacier.
RyanHOST
But that got fogged out, so we didn't see anything.
Patrick WiscombeHOST
And there's a reason why they've named the company that.
Patrick WiscombeHOST
If you want to experience Alaska in a completely different way, instead of going on the massive cruise ships, you're going to be very pleasantly surprised spending a couple days in Glacier Bay.
Dan BlanchardGUEST
On many of our routes, we enter right over the line at midnight, and you wake up at the glacier, and then we play all day, we anchor out, we wake up at another glacier and play all day, and then leave after dark and cross the line at midnight.
Dan BlanchardGUEST
So you're actually...
Dan BlanchardGUEST
Unlike the large ships, which are generally in the bay for, you know, anywhere from three to six hours, you know, we're in for 47 hours and 50 minutes, which is pretty cool.
Patrick WiscombeHOST
What's the favorite thing that you do in Glacier Bay?
Dan BlanchardGUEST
For me personally, I love to get out and hike.
Dan BlanchardGUEST
We're the only overnight company of any kind that puts people ashore in Glacier Bay in the wilderness areas and actually lets them go hike up mountains.
Peter KnegoHOST
was Alaska seven days out of Seattle.
Peter KnegoHOST
So up to, you know, all the usual hotspots, Ketchikan, Juneau and Glacier Bay.
Peter KnegoHOST
And then a stop in Victoria, which was a real big highlight because Victoria, we had about nine hours in port.
Peter KnegoHOST
which gave me enough time that I could run over to the little ferry terminal in Victoria Harbor and buy a round-trip ticket for the Coho, which is this beautiful 1959-built ferry that was built to cross between Victoria and Port Angeles on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington.
Brett FriedmanGUEST
Some people choose to go to Skagway, Alaska, which is the traditional end of the Inside Passage.
Brett FriedmanGUEST
Some people choose to go to Glacier Bay, which is a little bit further west, um, and you end in a, in a national park, which is super nice.
Brett FriedmanGUEST
Um, when I did it I chose to go to Skagway f- purely for logistical reasons, um, in that my car was in Skagway and I had to get back to my car.
Brett FriedmanGUEST
Um, [laughs] and so I, I could've gone out to Glacier Bay, but it would've added a lot of time to the trip.
Brett FriedmanGUEST
But-
MasonHOST
Oh, right, right
Blake VogtHOST
Where in the world are you?
Nick PaulGUEST
I just left Anchorage yesterday on the way to, I think we're going to Glacier Bay today.
Nick PaulGUEST
And I think, like, Skagway and Ketchikan and Juneau.
Blake VogtHOST
If you do cruise ships, you know, the same three spots we all go to.
Julia PinnixGUEST
And so as a result, after three years there, I knew my stuff.
Julia PinnixGUEST
Then I got to go to Glacier Bay National Park after traveling around the world for about a year and a half after I graduated from college.
Julia PinnixGUEST
Wanted to see how places in other parts of the world solve their own problems instead of assuming that we knew how to solve them best.
Julia PinnixGUEST
And then I got to work for the National Park Service at Glacier Bay.
Julia PinnixGUEST
And I did that for six years.
Julia PinnixGUEST
I worked for the Park Service in the summer and then I traveled overseas in the wintertime, which is A, a whole lot cheaper than living here in this country and B, really a lot of fun.

Lucien MeadowsHOST
What are some of the biggest changes that you've seen in terms of what stories or whose stories get told or get interpreted?
Julia PinnixGUEST
Oh, yeah.
Marcus SmithHOST
I'd like you to follow him now with me up to Alaska to an encounter he had in the Endicott River wilderness.
Marcus SmithHOST
This is adjacent to Glacier Bay National Park.
Marcus SmithHOST
Long before he ever got there, the thought of ever planting his feet in such a place had been a recurrent favorite fantasy for him.
Marcus SmithHOST
It came back again and again throughout his life.
