About this footage

Hikers in blue rain gear show up again and again in these clips, standing on rocky summits in fog, picking down slippery slopes, and crossing a plank bridge over a forest stream with heavy red and blue packs. The group spent time at Glacier Bay, where boat-window shots pass snowy mountains, birds skim water scattered with ice, and passengers in winter jackets step off at a small landing.

A lot of the film is landscape: glaciers between dark peaks, wildflower slopes, ferns along a fast river, aerial views of braided rivers and wetlands from a plane window, and red sunsets over still lakes. Wildlife is scarcer, with a couple of shots of a bear moving through brush. The man-made side includes a large blue-and-white ferry tied up at a wooden pier, harbors full of fishing boats, farm buildings with a duck crossing the grass, and an elevated pipeline on concrete supports. One reel is labeled "tent trailer."

The footage fits stories about backpacking, ferry travel or the Alaskan wilderness as visitors saw it in 1977.
