Point Gustavus is a worthy final destination for this hike, but hiking almost six miles on slippery, barnacle-covered rock to get here isn't for everybody. Even if you only go partway, keep an eye out on the water, shore, and land. You might see some of Glacier Bay's abundant wildlife, including humpback whales spouting in the distance, sea otters playing or resting in the water, shorebirds and waterbirds, and even bears or their tracks.
