As a retired Juneau resident (of 28 years), I'd have to say that this video is surprisingly very good and quite accurate. Thank you for doing a good job.

I'm moving there on Monday, I want to go hiking and all that, but I'm moving alone, and am afraid a pack of wolves or a brown bear would wipe me out, any tips with the wildlife?

Good choice and good luck. If you're a hiker (like I used to be), I suggest stopping by the forest service stand downtown in Centennial Hall and buying a plastic coated (to keep it dry in our rain) map of the trail systems here in Juneau (we have over 300 miles of trails here). When out hiking alone (later in the summer when the salmon are in the rivers) just make noise (sing, etc) while hiking to let the black bears know you are coming (they will kerskaddle when they know you are around). Never get between a female and her cubs. Wolves and brown bears are extremely, extremely rare in Juneau. It never rains hard here (drizzle or mist), but you have to learn to ignore the rain and get on with life. Light rain gear and dress in layers and a bottle of bear spray (mainly for psychological self assurance) and good water resistant comfortable boots (dry sox in Juneau is a luxury!). Confucius says.......when in the rain forest, you have to expect some rain in the forest. Always remind yourself, that if it wasn't for the rain it would not be as beautiful here. Alaska will surprise you.....just yesterday a river otter wandered across my deck here, just outside my window. The "wilderness" is usually just outside our back door.........literally and figuratively. It's the beauty of the land that brought me here, but it's the beauty of the people here that will keep me here. Again good luck and welcome to Juneau.@@beastcontracts8230

@@beastcontracts8230 always keep bear spray on you just in case. As long as you are somewhat noisy when walking, bears will walk the other direction.

same here,even though i live in juneau this is intresting

Thank you very much. My parents want to move to Alaska in a few years and we were wondering where we could go. We were unsure, but when I looked at this, I was like man that looks beautiful. I’ve looked at Fairbanks. Kenai and a couple others but that does not compare to this. I’m definitely gonna talk to my parents about this. I appreciate you very much.

The Skaters Cabin and False Outer Point. There are a lot of beautiful hiking trails. We bought a book of the trails at Hearthside books.

Hey, number 6 was mixed up with “Celebration.” Folk Fest is where a bunch of people get together to play folk music for a week (all over town), that happens in April of every year. Celebration is what you were describing in your video and that happens every two years- natives rowing to the shores and having a grand celebration for a week straight. They usually have southeast groups but try and invite a few groups from around the world to dance as well. It’s going on right now, just look up “Celebration 2022”.

Can I visit a Glacier by myself? Do they have a hiking trail to the Glacier from Mandellhall Visiting Center ?

@spudric6683

11 ай бұрын

Yeah, if you’re there in the summer the Mendenhall falls trail will get you pretty close and if you’re there in the winter Mendenhall lake freezes over and you can walk straight across, this is also the best time to visit the ice caves.

I gotta go some day #yuhhurdme

I thought the Mendenhall glacier was not receding but was one of the few glaciers that was expanding?

@markpatterson5250

Жыл бұрын

The Mendenhall glacier has been receding receding for a very long time. In 1793 Capt. George Vancouver "discovered" it when it was pressed up against what we now call Douglas Island. Taku glacier (also fed from the Juneau Ice Field) has been advancing (but now appears to be slowing in it's advance).

There are no Lodges in Juneau.

Russia foolish to sell this rich Alaska

7:58 wrong. it is accesible by boat also and people build cabins up taku. the lodge is just for tourists (losers too)

Alot of meth and heroin use at Harris harbor needles are not uncommon to see
