Juneau
The city has an estimated population of 32,500 year round citizens. Juneau is unique among the 49 U.S. capitals on mainland North America in that there are no roads connecting the city to the rest of the state or North America. One must either fly or boat into Juneau. Jodie and I flew from Anchorage.
Upon arrival we picked up a small skoolie through air bnb (school bus converted to RV) and headed off to a national campground called Mendenhall Glacier Campground.
We’ve had a glorious week of sunny ( for the most part) springtime weather. We’ve hiked many amazing trails and seen views that will forever be emblazoned in my memory.
Icebergs & Icefields at Tracy Arm Fiord
Eagles galore
Black bears
Sea Lions
Glaciers
Humpback whales
Killer Orca whales
Did I say Icebergs and glaciers?????
Gold…still see people digging for gold around riverbeds. Many old gold mines in the woods around Juneau.
Nature at its very best. The glaciers are melting…according to locals at an astounding rate. Grateful to have seen them.
