About 45 miles south of Juneau and 70 miles north of Petersburg, Alaska, Tracy Arm is a fjord in the Tongass National Forest that is off of Holkham Bay and adjacent to Stephens Passage. As an alternative to Glacier Bay or as the single glacier viewing stop on a round-trip Inside Passage cruise from Seattle or Vancouver, many ships add a stop at Tracy Arm with its twin North and South Sawyer Glacier.
Tracy Arm Fjord, named for Civil War general Benjamin Franklin Tracy, is a fjord, a small inlet formed by glacial activity, and it is roughly 30 miles long.

To an altitude of about 1,500 feet, a young Alaskan rain forest of spruce and hemlock develops. There are numerous species of furbearing animals, including brown and black bears, mountain goats, wolves, a limited number of Sitka black-tailed deer, and a wide variety of other critters. It is not uncommon to spot whales and sea lions in the fjords, and harbor seals have been known to raise their pups on floating ice. The shoreline is a popular habitat for bald eagles and other seabirds.
The fjord that ascends to Sawyer Glacier’s two sides is known as Tracy Arm. The fjord is not like a wide bay; rather, it has high granite walls that are home to several waterfalls. Sawyer Glacier, near the end of the Tracy Arm fjord, is[…]
