LeConte Glacier Bay Base Camp |
|

|
|
LeConte Glacier Bay is a 12 mile-long fjord that has been carved out of the surrounding coastal mountain range by glaciers over the course of thousands of years. At the head of the bay is LeConte Glacier, the southernmost tidewater glacier in North America. The glacier is active, constantly fracturing and calving, filling the bay with thousands of icebergs and sounds of thunder.
We will paddle throughout the bay on day trips, enjoying lush old growth forests of spuce and hemlock that give way to sheer 3.000-foot rock walls that have been polished smooth by glacier ice. You'll see thundering waterfalls, icebergs ranging from crystal-clear to bright blue in every shape and size imaginable, and curious harbor seals swimming nearby. Paddling along to the walls of the bay, amongst the seals, and where you can witness large pieces of ice calve and thunder into the bay is a truly unforgettable experience!
