The city
The capital of Alaska, between the Gastineau Channel and forested mountains, with no road connection to the rest of the state. It was founded by gold prospectors in 1880 and has a downtown of steep streets with the Capitol, old churches and the Alaska State Museum. From the cruise ship pier the Mount Roberts aerial tramway rises, and Mendenhall Glacier is about 20 km away. Auke Bay, to the north, is the departure point for whale-watching tours.

The local experience
A glacier of about 22 km that descends from the Juneau Icefield to the lake of the same name, about 20 km from downtown. The visitor center and short trails lead to ice viewpoints and Nugget Falls; in summer black bears fish for salmon in a nearby stream.
The Alaska State Museum, in downtown Juneau, with collections from the native peoples of the entire state, objects from the Russian period, art and natural history, in a building that also houses the state library and archives.
