Bear Track Inn is situated at the doorstep of Glacier Bay National Park on the tranquil shores of Icy Straits in Gustavus, Alaska. With world-class sport fishing, wildlife and bear viewing, whale watching, kayaking and more, this family-friendly inn provides an intimate window into one of Alaska’s “grandest” destinations.
Bear Track Inn’s main lodge and lobby area is the focal point of the property, stretching 30 feet from floor to ceiling and offering awe-inspiring views of mountains, forests, and wildlife-laden Icy Strait.
This unique 2-story log lodge features 14 spacious guest rooms, each with private bath and two queen-size beds. Some of the upper-level rooms are upgraded rooms that feature vaulted ceilings, water views, and include additional amenities.
Gustavus is not connected to the road system so your custom itinerary will typically include roundtrip flights from Juneau. Itineraries can also start and/or end in the nearby coastal communities of Haines or Skagway.
Bear Track Inn’s dining room features a show kitchen where you can watch the Inn’s Chef perform his magic. Breakfasts and dinners are served in this dining room, while lunches are packed to take away with you on your chosen excursion.
Dinners include a choice of various Alaskan-themed entrees and specials, such as local Alaskan salmon, halibut, caribou, Dungeness crab, and prawns. You may also enjoy vegetarian dishes if you prefer, and there is a large selection of wine and locally brewed beers to choose from as well.
Outdoor adventure is just outside your door at Bear Track Inn with water-based fun including day cruises to see Glacier Bay’s many glaciers, some of Alaska’s most reliable whale watching, and exploratory kayaking around the calm waters around Icy Straits. You can also choose sportfishing and fly fishing guided excursions for halibut, salmon, trout, and more near the Inn or further afield available by floatplane. The wildlife is everywhere so whatever adventure you choose, be sure to bring your camera!

Thanks for your wonderful planning and support of our recent WPO Houston trip to Alaska. As you may have observed, we are very “spoiled” and used to extraordinary events and experiences unavailable any other way. Against that very high standard, the Alaska trip in all respects was absolutely off the charts –... Read more
