Bay sights in Petersburg

  1. A

    Thomas Bay

    Almost as impressive as LeConte Glacier is Thomas Bay, 20 miles from Petersburg and north of LeConte Bay on Frederick Sound's east side. The bay features a pair of glaciers, including Baird Glacier, where many paddlers spend a day hiking. The mountain scenery surrounding the bay is spectacular, and the area holds three USFS cabins: Swan Lake Cabin, Spurt Cove Cabin and Cascade Creek Cabin. All require reservations. Paddlers need to allow four to seven days for the round-trip out of Petersburg.
