The scenic route through the fabled Inside Passage to Alaska leads to Glacier Bay National Park. Here you'll find a spectacular, unspoiled labyrinth of deep fjords and dramatic glaciers plunging into the ocean, ringed by snow-capped peaks reaching to 15,000 feet -- the highest coastal mountains in the world.
The nearest highway is hundreds of miles away; a cruise ship is the easiest way to see this unspolit wonderland.
