Take the tram from the docks up a very steep incline to the top of Mt Roberts. On clear day, you have a 360 degree view from the top. An excellent short film "Seeing Daylight" can be viewed in the small theater. Hiking trails jump off from the visitor area and take you further up the mountain with stunning, breathtaking views! The tramway is owned and run by a native corporation. There are carvers and the opportunity to purchase native artwork in the gift shop. There are trails that will get you there too, without taking the tram.

This is probably the most visited place in Juneau and a 'Must See'. The Mendenhall Glacier is our glacier and easily accessible to visitors to anyone who wants to see it. There are easy trails to a lookout, to Nugget Falls and also an ecology walk where one can see black bears foraging during certain times of the year (when salmon are spawning. We also recommend a visit to the National Park Service visitor center, where one can learn about evolution of this particular glacier and the icefields that feed the glaciers, as well as get a spectacular view of the glacier.

On Douglas Island, beautiful Sandy Beach and historic Treadwell Ditch trail, a little walking trail takes you through the ruins of more recent history, during the gold rush when gold was processed. The mine collapsed and what remains are ruins covered by forest growth; a wonderful walk through history.

This is one of my favorite places to go because of stunning scenery, birdwatching, and relatively easy walking trails, where glacier waters meet the salt water. Picnic tables are available.

When you go exploring....
Please be prepared for weather. . .we are in a maritime rainforest, and weather can change quickly. Its also colder at the glacier. . . Be sure to always pack rain gear, or at least something with a hood (we generally don't use umbrellas because of the wind), wear comfortable walking or hiking shoes if you are planning to go on a trail. Its always wise to take water and an energy snack!!! Please note food/drink is not allowed at the glacier because of the prevalence of bears.
