John Muir, who’s revered today as the founder of the @sierraclub and an early advocate for national parks, was largely unknown in 1879 when he first left San Francisco bound for Alaska’s Inside Passage, a seafaring route through the densely islanded panhandle of America’s northernmost territory. Today that route is insanely popular: Alaska hosted more than 1 million cruise ship visitors last year, a number that continues to grow. And along with the ships, ferries carry residents and visitors from one location to the next. While on assignment for @nytimestravel, the writer Mark Adams followed the footsteps of #JohnMuir — and millions of modern cruise ship passengers — 1 marine ferry at a time. “Alaskans are a seafaring people,” he writes. “Most of the state’s 740,000 residents live in towns and cities near the coast. The state’s huge size and crazy topography make road construction impractical; even Juneau, the capital, can be reached only by sea or air. The marine ferries are used primarily by Alaskans as an inexpensive way to move themselves and their vehicles from place to place as they read, work or watch the miles go by. I bought a couple of waterproof notebooks and flew off to join them.” Visit the link in our profile to read more, and to see pictures by @csmphotos. He captured this scene at the edge of Gustavus, which serves as the gateway to @glacierbaynps.
