Things To Do
Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center
A visit to the Mendenhall Glacier is always recommended when visiting Juneau. There are plenty of hiking options around the visitor center area. A few trails near the visitor center area we recommend are below.
East Glacier Trail
Loop trail through a beautiful forest. ~3mi ~700ft Gain
West Glacier Trailhead
Out and Back ~4mi ~600 ft gain to some nice views of the side of the glacier.
Nugget Falls Trail
A nice flat walk out to the impressive Nugget Falls. Out and Back ~2mi 100ft gain
Perseverance Trail
A beautiful hike back into Perseverance valley up behind downtown Juneau. Out and Back, can make it a short hike to Edner falls or push back into Granite Creek Basin for stunning valley views. ~3-8mi 500-1,200 ft gain.
Mt. Juneau Trail
If we get beautiful clear weather, getting up higher is a must! A hike up Mt Juneau can be challenging but so worth it. ~7mi out and back ~3500ft gain
Boy Scout Beach
A favorite hike of ours. This is a easy flat out and back trail leading out to stunning ocean views. This is the spot where Nathan proposed to Grace. ~4mi out and back
Wings Airways & the Taku Glacier Lodge
If weather is clear, getting up in a floatplane is such an amazing experience to see the beauty in the area!
Mount Roberts Tramway
Take a tram ride up to Mt Roberts for amazing hikes and views above the alpine. Also shopping and a restaurant up top. Recommend doing this as long as the cloud ceiling is above the tram house.
Amalga Distillery
A fantastic distillery in downtown Juneau. Offers Gin at all times, whiskey when available. Owned and operated by our good friends. Nathan worked at the distillery when his work was halted in 2020.
Devil's Club Brewing Company
Great beers and food at a local microbrewery owned and run by our friends!
Deckhand Dave's Fish Tacos
Great fish tacos! A highlight of Juneau's food scene
