Page "Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve" Paragraph 5

No roads lead to the park and it is most easily reached by air travel.

During some summers there are ferries to the small community of Gustavus or directly to the marina at Bartlett Cove.

Despite the lack of roads, there are over 400, 000 visitors each year most of whom arrive via cruise ship.

The number of ships that may arrive each day is limited by regulation.

Other travelers come on white-water rafting trips, putting in on the Tatshenshini River at Dalton Post in the Yukon Territory and taking out at the Dry Bay Ranger Station in the Glacier Bay National Preserve.

Trips generally take six days and pass through Kluane National Park and Reserve in the Yukon and Tatshenshini-Alsek Provincial Park in British Columbia.
