Juneau's most popular attraction (for a good reason), the Mendenhall Glacier is a half-mile wide, with ice 300 to 1,800 feet deep. It provides some of the most spectacular landscapes in Alaska. Even more amazing, the glacier constantly moves and changes with the seasons — so no two visits are alike.

Juneau is an important port and the gateway to many of Alaska's attractions, including the Mendenhall Glacier and the Alaska State Capitol. It is also known for its native culture and Gold Rush history, with many buildings and landmarks dating back to the 1800s. The best time to visit is during the summer months.

Downtown Juneau is very walkable, and you can get to many landmarks within 15 minutes from the docks. You can also explore at your own pace by renting a car. Don't want to worry about logistics so you can just sit back and enjoy the view? Bus tours, shuttles, and taxis are all options.

Juneau Alaska stands on one of the largest wilderness areas in the United States. Here you can spend your time viewing wildlife, taking the fishing trip of your life, exploring atop glaciers or enjoying the city's shops, restaurants and artistic flare.
