Juneau

On Friday, we returned to Alaska, this time flying up to Juneau to spend a few days checking out the city and the surrounding area. Our hotel was north of town by the airport. Saturday morning we took the public bus to downtown and walked around.

We then walked south of town to where the cruise ships docked and looked around the shops. We took the tram up to Mount Roberts to admire the view below. There's a visitor center on top with a small shop, cafe, and museum, as well as a nature trail. The island across from the harbor is Douglas Island.

In the afternoon Alaska's Grand Worthy Advisor drove us around, showing us some things outside the city like the fish hatchery and the university campus.
