Glacier Bay National Park is situated in far southeastern Alaska. One of the unique things about this park is that you cannot drive to it. Glacier Bay National Park can only be visited by boat or plane. When the weather is good, there are daily ferry and plane taxis that take visitors to the park from the small town of Gustavus. This community sits about 10 miles to the west, by air or water, as it is just across the bay from the park. During the summer, there is also plane service to Gustavus from the state's capital of Juneau.
