This photo is from a hiking trip I did in the East Arm of Glacier Bay in the 1970s. Most of that trip it rained; this was the nicest weather I had, and it didn't last long. In those days, the drop-off boat left hikers in the East Arm where there were tidewater glaciers and open hills where you could hike for days. While this intertidal scene probably hasn't changed much, the hills where I walked are now covered in thick alder shrubs, deterring most modern day hikers.
