Are you ready for your Junior Ranger adventure to begin? Becoming a Junior Ranger is a special honor and there are some responsibilities that go with it.

  • If you come by plane or on your own boat: visit a ranger and the exhibits in the Visitor Center on the second floor of Glacier Bay Lodge.
  • If you come by cruise ship: look for someone wearing the badge and the ranger hat! Cruise ship children's centers offer a Junior Ranger Program over the course of the cruise. While in Glacier Bay, rangers present a special program to aspiring Junior Rangers.
  • If you come by tour vessel: meet with the ranger on board to learn about Glacier Bay.
  • If you are a virtual visitor: start learning all sorts of cool stuff about this national park right here.

Kittlitz's Murrelet  

Did You Know?
Kittlitz Murrelets are seabirds, spending most of their lives on the ocean, diving for fish. However, they nest on scree slopes or cliff faces near the tops of mountains in glaciated regions. Their plumage is so cryptic, only 25 nests have ever been found.
