National Park Passport Stamps- Glacier Bay National Park

[kmpjdd]

I have one of those "National Park Passports" that you can get stamped at all of the National Parks that you visit. I will be bringing it with me to AK because we are going to Denali NP and I want to get it stamped there.

 

However, I was wondering if anyone knows if the National Park Rangers who board the ship in Glacier Bay bring the Glacier Bay stamp with them?

I am pretty sure they did have one on the Golden Princess last summer. They had tables set up with all sorts of information and I think they had the stamp there too.

According to the website, YES.

We are going to the Hubbard glacier on the Radiance. Does anyone know if they have NPS stamps on that cruise, too?

 

These stamps are one of my favorite things to collect.

Why would they? Hubbard Glacier is not a national park :confused:

Frugal--I have not been to AK, yet--so I am not an expert. I was under the impression that the Hubbard glacier is part of the Wrangell--St Elias park. If you look at the map of the park area the Hubbard glacier seems to be in the southern section. :confused:

Hubbard is part of the US Forrest Service and is not a National park.

sherryf and mapleleaves-

thanks for your help! I had never seen that part of the NPS website, and I am excited that they list the stamp as one of the things that the ranger brings onboard.

 

I'm also surprised that so many people know about the National Park Passports. For those who care, there is a "Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park" in Skagway (http://www.nps.gov/klgo/index.htm ) that appears to be right near the railway station.

Though we're not a national park, the Tongass National Forest's Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center also has a passport stamp. Just ask the ranger at the host station :)

I got a Klondike Goldrush NPS stamp in Seattle. I will be sure to get the stamp in Skagway, too.

The southern extents of the park is in downtown Seattle.

Hi

 

If you have the large book not the small one. Take out a few pages and bring those with you leave the book on ship. Remember always ask at a place you visit they all will have stamps or cancellation stamps

Not all places will have stamps I would get a blank page stamp and hope next year a stamp will be available.

And here's a link to Seattle's unit of the Klondike Gold Rush National Park. It's located near Pioneer Square. And it's free.

We try to get a stamp at any of the "National" places. Usually stamp the brochure and then incorporate it into our scrapbooking somehow.

Mary-- thank you for the link. Getting these stamps is great fun. I am glad I can get one for Wrangell-St Elias NP.

 

But, having this complete list is even better!!!:)

[Watson's aunt]

I wish--but, that is not part of this trip.:(

I love the idea of this National Park Passport Book, i've never heard of it before! I will look into getting one before my Alaska cruise this season.

 

I wish they also had this kind of book for the Canadian National Parks... :)

[Jasperdo]

I know for a fact that you can get the Passport Book stamped while in Glacier Bay National Park. At least you could on the Golden Princess. The Park Service set up a very nice display and gift shop onboard. And my wife was able to get her Passport stamped there. Here's a photo of the Park Ranger display area.

(And don't forget to take the passport with you into Skagway. The Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park has the stamps in the Visitor Center, located in the historic train station.)

Make sure you get the cancelled stamp on your pages. some places might not have photo stamp. I started with the small one but then got the large on,No need to bright the whole book along Just get the area where you ar going, I have purchased all the photo stamps. No way i will be able to fill it.

Great to know! My kids and I love these passport stamp books.

The rangers brought along the stamp when they came onboard in Glacier Bay on the Zaandam week before last.
