Take a narrated tour of Juneau, see the largest fish ladder in Alaska and admire magnificent Mendenhall Glacier in Tongass National Forest.
Your local driver-guide recounts the history of Juneau?s gold rush as you depart downtown en route to Macaulay Hatchery, where you see adult spawning salmon (late June through September) or have the opportunity to feed immature salmon fry (May through early June). Learn about the unique and fascinating reproductive cycles of Pacific salmon. The museum-quality exhibits detail the hatchery?s annual production of over 150 million salmon and numerous aquariums showcase local marine wildlife.
Visit monumental Mendenhall Glacier ? one-and-a-half miles wide, hundreds of feet thick and fed by the 1,500-square-mile Juneau Icefield. This meandering river of compressed blue ice ranks as the largest glacier in southeast Alaska accessible by road.
The U.S. Forest Service staff offers a wealth of information on glaciers during your visit. The Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center features exhibits, interactive videos and a panoramic view of the glacier, offering the perfect vantage point for photos of this world-famous sight.

This Alaska's capital city was once part of Alaska's Gold Rush. The most cosmopolitan city along the Inside Passage, Juneau is also packed with history, a delightful shopping district, and beautiful scenery. You can go on a glacier expedition via helicopter, walk on Mendenhall glacier or take a floatplane trip over the Juneau Icefield. Nearby Admiralty Island has the world's highest concentration of brown bears.
