Glaciers & Forest Trails: A Juneau Day Outdoors
Pair the Mendenhall Glacier area with a memorable rainforest walk, and plan for changing Southeast Alaska weather.
Mendenhall Glacier and Nugget Falls
Start with the Mendenhall Glacier visitor information to plan your trip. Nugget Falls is an appealing option for visitors who want glacier-area scenery and a waterfall on the same outing.
East Glacier Trail
For more time in the trees, explore the East Glacier route in the Mendenhall area. Bring layers and check trail conditions before heading out.
Mount Roberts Trail
The forested route above downtown rewards those ready for an uphill outing. Consult Alaska State Parks’ trail information before you go. Tram access and operations can change.
Perseverance Trail
Set out toward a broad mountain valley near downtown Juneau. The City and Borough of Juneau trail directory is a useful planning resource.
Alaska weather and trail conditions can change rapidly. Choose a route suited to your group, carry appropriate supplies, and follow current local guidance.
