Tourism, Glacier Bay Lodge, Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska, 2013

Millions of tourists visit Glacier Bay National Park each summer. Most of them view the park from the decks of massive cruise ships. We saw it from small skiffs, spending three days and nights exploring the park by day and anchoring in its coves by night. Some tourists chose to stay at the Glacier Bay Lodge, or hotels in the nearby town of Gustavus. As we entered the park, we waited to meet our National Park Service ranger in the busy lobby of the Glacier Bay Lodge. The ranger would stay with us for our entire trip through the park. While we waited, I found this pair of tourists planning their own visit, via laptop, from the comfort of a Glacier Bay Lodge sofa. The expressions on their faces and their body language make us wonder what they must be thinking at this moment. They face many choices, choosing from a menu of full day boat tours, hiking, camping, kayaking, birding, fishing, and berry picking.
