Welcome to Juneau, Alaska
We have been to Juneau three times, once in 2007, 2021 and 2024
In 2021 we spent the day in Juneau visiting the Mendenhall Glacier and Waterfall, and then taking a cable car to Mt. Roberts for some overviews of the city. The highlight was walking down to the waterfall to see it close up. I had wanted to do it 14 years ago and ran out of time.
In 2024 we went whale watching and it was just ok. Icy Strait is much better in our opinion
