Juneau has been called “Alaska’s peak experience,” certainly due in part to its unparalleled glacier viewing from such places as Tracy Arm Fjord, the Juneau Icefields and Glacier Bay National Park. Kayak up one of the area’s many protected waterways, go flightseeing, tour historic downtown or try your hand at panning for gold. The majestic Mendenhall Glacier lies nearly 12 miles outside Juneau, a trek worthwhile.
Travel Tips
- consider whale watching & Mendenhall Glacier tour package
Because of waterway formation, the bay in Juneau provides abundant marine life for whales. On our whale watching ride, we saw more than ten humpback whales. When a whale swim toward our boat and passed through from underneath, that moment was really high light of the day. After whale watching. we continued to Mendenhall Glacier. You can watch far from visitor center or take a short trek to get a closer look. Trail is easy and worthwhile.
