The most "touristy" thing Peggy and I did was we took a flight-seeing trip to LeConte Glacier. We got lucky with the weather and it made for some awesome pictures!

"Calving" is the term used for chunks of ice breaking off of the glacier to form icebergs.

We took Peggy all over the island showing her around. We saw the eagles at Blind Slough.
