Alaska by RV but want to see Glacier Bay
need advice on where to leave Rv and how to see Glacier Bay. Not planning on using the ferry for the RV itself, was considering driving to Prince Rupert and taking ferry/plane from there - ???

If you want to actually take a tour boat all the way into Glacier, ask some pointed questions before you book. THe Government only issues a certain number of tour boat permits for Glacier Bay each year. Some sharp operators have been known to say you were all the way in the bay when, in fact, they were playing around in the non-permit required areas. Not exactly illegal, but very closely worded advertising. Just check closely. Our tour was on a small boat (120) people out of Juneau, but it's not running any longer. A Stan Stephens tour out of Valdez to Meares and Columbia Glaciers are just as good in my opinion, and a whole lot easier to access. We've been on the Stan Stephens tours 5 times and will no doubt go again. It's that good.
