00:00Planning a cruise to Alaska and wondering if a trip to Glacier Bay is
00:04actually worth it? Here are three things you need to know. One, permits are strictly
00:10limited. They only let two cruise ships into the bay each day to protect the
00:15ecosystem so it's a really special experience. Two, wear layers. It might be
00:2210 degrees here but it feels a lot cooler with the wind chill and when
00:26you're next to a giant or ice. Three, National Park's rangers are on the ship
00:32all day. They give an amazing briefing at the start of the day and are on hand to
00:37answer all your questions. So to go back to that first question, is it actually
00:42worth it? Check out this view of Johns Hopkins Glacier.
00:50A unique way to explore the rugged wilderness outside Denali National Park
00:54is on an ATV bashing through 10 miles of mountain trails and rocky creek beds for
01:00unmatched views of the Healey Valley. Inland you can experience local culture and
01:05history with authentic dog-mushing demonstrations or taking the scenery at a
01:14more relaxed pace aboard historic paddle boats and trains. And for a quiet moment
01:21walk the tranquil loop around Horseshoe Lake where wildlife and pristine nature
01:25take center stage. Safe to say it, when it comes to Alaska you'll definitely see the
01:31glacier half full.
