Glacier Bay National Park

We spent one day cruising through this park and entrance was free to us with our America the Beautiful Senior Pass.  The roads are very narrow and windy with rocks jutting out on one side and big drop offs on the other side of the roads.  These cavernous holes in the ground were carved out over many years by glaciers.  The park is filled with a multitude of waterfalls and streams and rivers.  We drove by a granite wall with water coming out of the wall they call the weeping wall.  We only saw one of the 29 glaciers left in the park and they estimate they will be all gone by the 2030 due to the global warming.  This park is filled with wildlife but all we saw this day was a chipmunk.  Most deaths occur from drowning in this park and a few happened this month alone. 





There is certainly much beauty in the United States of America!
