Getting Around Gustavus

Taxis, car rentals, bikes and walking will get you around our small system of roads. Lodgings and an RV Rark are spread throughout Gustavus, about 5 square miles, with the approach to the beach, river and airport centralizing most services and our city park. Hiking trails are accessible to the public and the paved flat road is a bikers paradise. An area map is available for your personal explorations at local businesses and downloadable here at the bottom of this page.

Gustavus has only two main roads that meet at ‘4-Corners,’ with approximately 10 miles of paved roads, and 20 miles of dirt roads

The drive to Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve is headquartered at Bartlett Cove, 10 miles by paved road from the Gustavus Airport and the Alaska Marine Highway dock. 

Bartlett Cove, located in Glacier Bay National Park, has a walk-in only campground, a large commercial lodge, restaurant and bar, kayak rentals and tours, and hiking trails. It is also the starting point for a 40-mile day cruise to see the glaciers in Glacier Bay, offered during the summer months only.
