Geography: Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve lies approximately 35 air miles west of the capital city of Juneau and may only be reached only by boat or bush-plane. The City of Gustavus is a small bush community, located on a large glacial moraine created by past glacier advancements. This is the starting point for independent travelers to Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve and offers independent travelers a greater choice in planning their visit. Our airport receives flights of independent travelers from Haines, Skagway, Juneau by small aircraft and Juneau or Seattle with Alaska Air.
