⓵ Itinerary Highlights Mendenhall Glacier: Recommended by the captain for its easy, flat hike to the glacier and waterfall. Bought the City and Glacier Tour from M & M Tours (negotiated to $60/person), covering: Juneau Downtown Whale Statue Douglas Island Mendenhall Glacier Goldbelt Tram: Overpriced and underwhelming—skip unless you love trams. Tracy’s King Crab Shack: A must-visit for divine king crab legs! 🦀 ⓶ Fun Facts About Juneau • Founded on June 29, 1900. • Larger than Rhode Island—the biggest U.S. state capital by area. • Population: ~32,000 (Alaska’s 2nd-largest city). • Home to the Goldbelt Tram, one of the world’s steepest aerial trams. • One of the best places globally to spot bald eagles. • Habitat for 280 bird species, brown/black bears, salmon, and whales. • Shares a border with British Columbia, Canada—the only U.S. state capital bordering another country. • No road connections to other Alaskan regions or North America—all goods arrive by plane or ship. #Seattle #Alaska #CruiseLife #JuneauAdventures 🏔️🚢
