I read that 100 years ago, the glacier went most of the way back to the visitor's center. (And covered the falls) I'll be going there, next June, on the Bliss.

Awesome! Enjoy your Cruise. We sailed there on the Joy, The sister ship and had a wonderful time. And yes, it is sad that the glacier is receding. You can even see that it's gone back over the last few years.

This is exactly what we are doing in June. A lot of the excursions only spent 1 hours at the glacier and I wanted more time there so this looks perfect.

Is there enough time from docking at 1 leaving at 6:30 to do the tram and the blue bus to the glacier?
@NorthernVikingExplorer

I feel like you would be rushed to do both of them. Maybe do the tram second because it's closer to the ship so you know how much time you have left.

Thanks for the info, always looking for info on what port operators offer. I assume this was $45 a person, and do the busses just show up every 30 mins? No set time to leave? Did you happen to catch when their last buses pick up? As research seems like about 45 each way for a cab/uber and since there will be 2 of us, it ends up being about the same price anyways, but lil more organized this way.

Do you recommend the city tour and shuttle bus to mendenhall glacier that have reserved time/seat for $60 per person? I’m concern about the long lines/ long wait in June if we book the anytime shuttle bus for $45 per person.

I can only walk but so far. Nugget Falls are out but how far from the parking lot to the Visitor Center and the point where pics can be taken of the Glacier? Don
@NorthernVikingExplorer
@NorthernVikingExplorer 4 ай бұрын
From the shuttle stop, I'm guessing it is about 500 ft to the visitors center. There is an elevator at the bottom near the restrooms. To the main photo stop it is probably about a 1/3rd of a mile each way. If you go to google maps and search "Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center" you should be able to figure out all of the exact measurements with the scale. Enjoy your trip!!

Thank you so much for your response. I think that I can do that easily. Will have to forfit trying to get to Nuggett Falls. That's a bit far, especially if there are no benches to stop and rest. Getting old here but want to see and do all that I can. You viseo and response is very much appreciated. Looking forward to the trip , 20 days, 21 hours and 22 minutes, but who's counting. Don

We were back there a few days ago and they were still selling tours when we got off the ship. But I can't say for every sailing. If your worries about it then book ahead. Worst case you can also take a taxi.
