Sawyer Glacier - Our Destination
This is a continuation of treks and things we've done which took us away from our normal lives. I've expanded this in recent years as time and $$$$ permits. We have taken some treks with relatives who are getting older and had expressed a desire to do things they had not yet done. It's good to do these things while we are physically able and with family or friends.
One small group was an Alaska trek which included a cruise up the Tracy Arm fjord to the Sawyer Glacier. This was the second glacier I've seen in my life. I was able to walk on the first one with mountain goats. The trek up the Tracy Arm was a leisurely one on a cruise ship. No hiking required or possible.
I'll post a video in a few days, but for now here are a few photos. .Update: The video is at the end of this post.

| Maneuvering in the Fjord |
As we proceeded slowly into the fjord, we passed waterfalls, floating ice and seals. The scenery gradually changed and we encountered more floating ice as we grew closer to the glacier.
