Ford’s Terror We will wake up early to paddle amongst the icebergs and get a closer look at the glacier from the kayaks. We explore the wondrous Ford's Terror - a spectacular fjord accessible only through a narrow passage off Endicott Arm. Rushing tidal currents and whirlpools prevent us from entering when the tide flows in and out. We must wait for slack water to enter this paradise. (Seaman H.R. Ford didn't wait, back in 1889, and found himself terrorized by the rushing tidal waters!) Both brown and black bear can sometimes be seen roaming the narrow beaches and tide flats. Mountain goats have even been sighted on this rugged coastline. We will then start to paddle back towards the mouth of Tracy Arm. In the early afternoon, we will board the Adventure Bound boat with our kayaks and then enjoy an even closer look at the glaciers from the safety of a larger vessel. After sightseeing, the Adventure Bound boat will return us to downtown Juneau in the late evening. |
