Lonely Planet review for 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.
