Day Eight, 2023 Road Trip/Cruise — Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier Leave a comment
After leaving Sitka, we were scheduled to drift through a 30-mile-long stretch of Alaska’s lesser-known gems, Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier. But that was not to happen.

We were not sure of the real reason, but there wasn’t anything we could do.
