Muir Inlet is an inlet in Glacier Bay in Alaska in the United States. Muir Inlet heads in Muir Glacier, and extends for 48 kilometers (30 mi)[1] south to Glacier Bay, 51 miles (82 km) northwest of Hoonah, Alaska.[2] Muir Inlet is separated from Chilkat Inlet and Lynn Canal by the Chilkat Range. Muir Inlet has several glaciers' termini in addition to that of Muir Glacier; most prominent among them are Casement Glacier, McBride Glacier, and Riggs Glacier. In the west lies Wachusett Inlet and in the east Adam's Inlet.[3]
Muir Inlet was named in 1883 by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey for John Muir (1838–1914), who visited the area in 1890.[2]
Muir Inlet is popular kayaking destination.[4][5]
