Why visit Juneau?

Juneau is the capital of Alaska, located on the Gastineau Channel in the Inside Passage of southeast Alaska. It has no road connection to the rest of the state or to Canada, so visitors arrive by plane or by boat. The city sits below steep forested mountains, with the vast Juneau Icefield just beyond them.

Visit Mendenhall Glacier, a short drive from downtown, and walk to Nugget Falls beside the glacier lake. Ride the Mount Roberts Tramway from the waterfront for views over the channel and trails on the mountain. In summer, join a whale-watching trip to see humpback whales feeding in the nearby waters. Take a boat tour to Tracy Arm, a narrow fjord with tall cliffs and floating ice, or a helicopter flight to land on the icefield. Learn about the region's history and Native cultures at the Alaska State Museum, and explore the old Treadwell gold mine ruins on Douglas Island. Fresh salmon, halibut and crab are the local favorites.
