Glacier Bay contains tidewater glaciers, mountains, fjords, and a temperate rainforest, and is home to large populations of grizzly bears, mountain goats, whales, seals, and eagles. When discovered in 1794 by George Vancouver, the entire bay was covered by ice, but the glaciers have since receded more than 65 miles (105 km).^[1]

Glacier Bay National Park is not very dog friendly. Dogs are not allowed on any trails or the campground, but they are allowed on the roads in the Bartlett Cove developed area, and a small section of the beach in the Bartlett Cove area between the two docks. Dogs are also allowed on boats.
