Juneau travel guide
United States · Top sights · trending spots
Juneau is the only American state capital that no road reaches — you arrive by ship or by air, hemmed between mountains and the Gastineau Channel.
The Mendenhall glacier is twenty minutes from downtown by city bus, which is not a sentence that works anywhere else. Boats run into Tracy Arm past calving ice, whales feed in the channel, and a tram climbs Mount Roberts from the dock.

Thane
A ribbon of some sixty houses strung five miles along a single dead-end road south of Juneau, named for Bartlett Thane of the Alaska-Gastineau Mining Company. The line from the Snettisham hydro plant runs through it, and avalanches cut the power often enough that the utility keeps diesels on standby.
