Here are some links with info on Baranof Island and Glacier Bay:

• Wikipedia: Baranof Island – brief basics of geography, population, natural features, and history.
• Sitka Visitor’s Bureau Photo Slide Show – beautiful pictures of Sitka and parts of Baranof!
• Rev. Bob Carter’s Kayak trip reports – got this from Kris & Leslie’s site, as Kris has talked with and received a lot of helpful information from Bob.
• Kim Petherick and Lachlan Harvey’s Baranof report – scroll down for some awesome kayak-perspective photos.
• Alaska Kayaking Photos – from a company offering day trip paddling excursions from a live-aboard boat. The pictures are awesome and include Baranof Island and Glacier Bay National Park.
• NOAA 2008 Tidal Predictions – Use these to plan your paddling day.
• Alaska Marine Highway System – We highly recommend travel to Alaska through the Inside Passage! We enjoyed pitching our tent on the back, watching the amazing scenery, listening to talks given by the live-aboard “Naturalist”, free hot showers, and plenty of interesting people to talk to.
