Tracy Arm Fjord
Tracy Arm
Located about 45 miles south of Juneau, Tracy Arm, a
classic fjord, stands out as a "must see" for any Alaska
vacation. The icebergs are framed by sheer mountain peaks that reach up to
7,000 feet. Waterfalls flow from the ice covered mountains to the jade
colored inland sea. Tracy Arm is the summer home for pigeon guillemots,
kittiwakes and arctic turns. Usually the mountain goats are seen on the
rocky slopes near Sawyer Glacier. They have been known to come down near
the water. The best bear viewing is along the shores of Stephens Pass or
Holkham Bay, and there are whales and seals.
