If you are able to find your way above 1,000 feet or more in Glacier Bay, you will find a different world from the one down at sea level. It is not an easy walk, with no trails. You have to scramble up rock and through dense brush to make it here, but once you are there, you are aptly rewarded. Up here a different world of wildflowers, shrubs and trees persists. Here, a sub-alpine meadow nestles a tarn the color of tea. Well protected on a calm day, the water is as still as the stones partially submerged in it.
