Tracy Arm, Alaska, is a breathtaking fjord nestled within the Tongass National Forest, offering a pristine wilderness experience unlike any other. Known for its towering cliffs, majestic waterfalls, and awe-inspiring glaciers, this natural wonder is a must-see for nature lovers and adventurers alike. As you cruise through the narrow, winding waterway, you’ll be greeted by stunning views of the Sawyer Glaciers, which periodically release enormous icebergs into the fjord. The sheer scale and beauty of these glaciers, surrounded by steep rock walls and lush forests, create a surreal experience that leaves visitors in awe.

Wildlife thrives in Tracy Arm, making it a paradise for animal lovers. Visitors often spot harbor seals lounging on icebergs, bald eagles soaring overhead, and even humpback whales or orcas swimming through the fjord’s icy waters. The Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness is home to a rich variety of marine life and bird species, making it a prime spot for wildlife observation. Whether you’re exploring by boat or on a guided tour, the chance to witness Alaska’s untamed wilderness up close is a highlight of any trip to Tracy Arm.

For those looking for adventure, kayaking through Tracy Arm offers a unique perspective of the fjord's dramatic landscape. Paddling between icebergs and beneath cascading waterfalls provides a serene, immersive experience that connects you deeply with the natural surroundings. Visitors can also take a boat tour from Juneau, which is the most popular way to explore the area and admire the glaciers and wildlife.

Fun fact: Tracy Arm was named after Secretary of the Navy Benjamin F. Tracy in the 1890s. Despite its relatively remote location, it has become a popular destination for cruise ships, offering passengers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the grandeur of Alaska’s glaciers and wildlife up close.
