Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve has unsurpassed beauty and amazing glaciers and wildlife! Park headquarters is located at Bartlett Cove, at the southern edge of Glacier Bay. Gustavus, a community of about 350 in winter and 600 in summer, is connected to the park headquarters by a paved road. Bartlett Cove and Gustavus are accessible only by boat and air. Gustavus has a school (K-12) with about 50 students, post office, churches, grocery stores, espresso shops, and a clinic. Satellite TV service is available and VCR/DVD rental outlets are available. Some radio stations are received. Daily air taxi service is available to Juneau and other communities. The Alaska Marine Highway Ferry system recently established weekly winter service and twice-weekly summer service to Gustavus for passengers and vehicles. The nearest large city is Juneau, which has most amenities of any large city. Most supplies and equipment are flown in or transported by ferry or landing craft from Juneau. Recreational activities are centered around outdoor activities including boating, kayaking, fishing, hunting, snowshoeing, and cross country skiing. Glacier Bay is a temperate rainforest so the weather can be very rainy but temperatures are mild compared to the rest of Alaska. Average rainfall is 50-70 inches and average temperatures range from 15-35 in winter and 55-65 in summer.
