Most beautiful scenery in Alaska but wear rain pants even on a sunny day
Chugach Adventures的点评
点评：The Spencer Glacier Float is a not to be missed experience. As amazing as Alaska is, this was the most beautiful scenery we saw on our entire trip. Floating among the icebergs at the beginning was absolutely breathtaking.
Our guide was terrific. Safety-oriented, personable, and knowledgeable. I wish I could remember his name (maybe Ryan?) so I could give him a shout out.
Safety is clearly a priority. Before you leave, everyone receives a detailed safety briefing. In addition to being given a life jacket, a staff member personally checks that you have put it on correctly and tightened it enough. They even had an XXXL life jacket for one person in our group who needed one.
We were in two rafts. One raft stayed completely dry, but ours did not. There were eight passengers plus our guide in our raft, and most of the eight passengers had at least one leg soaked. In my case, one leg got completely soaked, and cold water ran down into the rubber boots provided by the company, leaving my foot freezing cold for the rest of the trip, even on a beautiful sunny day. It did not ruin the experience, but I strongly recommend wearing rain pants over your regular pants no matter what the weather and wearing the rain pants over your boots so any water runs off instead of into the boots.
Don't let that discourage you. This trip was wonderful, and you do not need to be athletic nor brave (I am neither!). The guide rows during the first part of the trip, and the second half is a peaceful, scenic float down the river.
The company says children and older adults can do this trip, and I agree, with a couple of qualifications. Children should be able to sit calmly without standing or squirming for about two and a half hours. Older adults should be able to walk independently on uneven ground and get in and out of a bathtub without assistance, since getting in and out of the raft requires similar mobility.
The logistics confused me before the trip, so here's how it actually works. You check in and are fitted for the company's rubber boots. I recommend bringing an extra pair of wool socks to wear over your regular socks because the boots can be roomy and the extra insulation helps if your feet get wet. After trying on the boots, you put your own shoes back on, carry the boots with you, and board the train.
When the train reaches the rafting area, you leave your belongings on the train. (Ignore the announcement of what time you have to be back at the stop; that doesn't apply to people on the rafting trip.) You put on the rubber boots, walk a short distance down to a bus, take about a five minute ride to the launch site, and then walk a few more steps to the raft.
When your float is finished, the train stops right where you finish, in the middle of nowhere, and picks you up there. You simply get back in your assigned seat, and anything you left on the train will still be there waiting.
You cannot bring personal belongings on the raft, so leave your backpack, snacks, and water bottle on the train (and maybe a spare pair of socks just in case). They'll be waiting when you return. (I kept my wallet with me in a zippered pocket inside my rain jacket the whole time just to be sure) . I wasn't sure what to do with my phone because I didn't want it to get wet, so I kept it in the zipper pocket with my wallet and ended up not taking any pictures, which I regret because the scenery was incredible. Several people had their phones in waterproof cases worn on a lanyard around their necks, and that seemed like the ideal solution.
Dress warmly in layers, and definitely wear a rain jacket and rain pants no matter what the weather.
This was one of the highlights of our Alaska trip and I think everyone would love it.

翻译：体验斯宾塞冰川漂流绝对不容错过。虽然阿拉斯加本身就美得令人惊叹，但这一处景色却是我们整个旅程中最美的。起初，我们乘船在冰山间穿行，那景象真是令人叹为观止。
我们的导游非常出色。他注重安全、平易近人且知识渊博。真希望我能记起他的名字（也许是瑞安？），这样就能好好夸奖他一番了。
安全显然是重中之重。出发前，每位游客都会接受详尽的安全说明。除了会发给我们救生衣外，工作人员还会亲自检查我们是否正确地穿上了救生衣，并且系带是否扎紧。他们甚至为我们团队中需要额外尺寸的人准备了XXXL号的救生衣。
我们乘坐了两艘筏子。其中一艘筏子完全没有进水，但我们的筏子则不然。我们的筏子上有八名乘客以及一名导游，这八名乘客中大多数人的至少一条腿都湿透了。就我而言，我的两条腿全都湿透了。冰冷的水顺着公司提供的橡胶靴流进鞋里，结果即便是在一个阳光明媚的日子里，我的脚也一直冷得要命。这虽然没破坏整体体验，但我强烈建议：无论天气如何，都应在普通裤子外面再穿一条防雨裤；而且要把防雨裤穿在靴子外面，这样水就会顺着流走，而不会灌进靴子里。
不过别因此却步。这次旅行真的很棒，你既不需要具备运动天赋，也不必胆子很大（我自己两者都不具备哦！）。旅行的前半段有向导带领，后半段则是在宁静的河面上享受风景优美的漂流之旅。
这家公司称儿童和老年人都可以参加此行程，我表示赞同，不过有一些前提条件。儿童应当能够安静地坐着，两半小时内既不站立也不扭动。而老年人则需能够独立在不平的地面上行走，并能无需帮助地进出浴缸。由于上下皮筏需要类似的行动能力。
出发前，相关的流程让我有些困惑，下面我来介绍一下实际的操作步骤。首先进行登记，然后公司会为你提供橡胶靴。我建议多带一双羊毛袜，穿在普通袜子外面——因为靴子内部空间较大，多一层保暖层在脚部沾湿时也能起到保护作用。试穿完靴子后，再换回自己的鞋子，把橡胶靴带着，最后登上火车即可。当火车抵达漂流起点时，把随身物品留在火车上即可。（不必理会关于何时需返回车站的广播通知，那条规定并不适用于参加漂流活动的人。）穿上橡胶靴后，步行一小段路即可到达巴士站，乘车约五分钟后便抵达出发点，再走几步就到达漂流筏旁。
漂流结束后，火车会停在你结束地点的正上方——一个荒无人烟的地方，然后在那里接上你。你只需回到指定的座位上，你留在火车上的任何物品都会原封不动地等着你。
你不可以把个人物品带上木筏，所以请把背包、零食和水瓶都留在火车上（说不定还得备一双备用袜子以防万一）。等你回来时，它们都会在那儿等着你。（为了万无一失，我始终把钱包放在雨衣内侧的带拉链口袋里。）我当时拿不准该怎么处理手机，因为不想让它弄湿。于是我把它和钱包一起放进了拉链口袋里，结果一张照片都没拍，现在想想真后悔，因为那里的风景实在太壮观了。有好几个人都把手机装在防水壳中，再用挂绳挂在脖子上，这似乎是最理想的解决办法。
穿衣时请采取多层穿法，无论天气如何，务必穿上防雨夹克和防雨裤。
这是我们阿拉斯加之旅中最精彩的环节之一，我觉得任何人都会喜欢的。
