Experiences

Located south of Skagway along the Inside Passage, Juneau offers a mix of state capital sophistication and wild Alaskan beauty. Unlike Skagway's gold rush town vibe, Juneau is a bustling hub where you can visit the state legislature, walk the trails around the massive Mendenhall Glacier, and take a whale-watching tour. It is only accessible by boat or plane, offering a unique isolated metropolitan feel surrounded by Tongass National Forest.
