About this city
Tracy Arm is a classic, narrow ocean fjord located over 45 miles south of Juneau within the Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness area. Carved deeply into the rugged Coast Mountains by massive glaciers, this spectacular waterway is flanked by vertical rock walls rising over 3,000 feet out of the deep green water. At the deep head of the fjord sit the magnificent, active twin Sawyer Glaciers, making the area a premier destination for viewing dramatic, raw tidewater glacial environments.
