National Park Service quotes over the past several years there has been an increase of visitors to the park. The main reasons for the increase in visitors are the sounds but also the silence the park has. On a normal day, one can hear a vast variety of fascinating sounds. On a typical day, one might be able to hear a glacier crashing into an inlet of water, wolves howling, humpback whales calling, or hermit thrushes singing (National Park Service). Guide to the National Parks of the United States quotes when the glaciers hit the inlet of water it sounds like a cannon just went off (439).  National Park Service states there are also human sounds. One can hear the crackle of a campfire, the moving water of a kayak paddle, and the water droplets ticking on the concrete. Glacier Bay National Park might be one of the best areas to hear the wild sounds of Alaska. One of the park’s most enchanted resources is the natural sounds. The sounds one hears at the park will forever be your most remembered part of the visit (National Park Service). The sounds of the park are one thing everyone should hear.]]> 2016-12-08 15:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jourdan_klemann/enkc9ektlola/wish/142579976 Reason Two- amazing landscapes renae_wild https://padlet.com/jourdan_klemann/enkc9ektlola/wish/142581175       Another reason to visit Glacier Bay National Park is because of the amazing landscapes.
