The Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center near Juneau brings you up close to the rugged beauty of Alaska. Here you can not only admire the impressive glacier and the turquoise glacial water, but also gain exciting insights into the geology and ecosystem of this region. The center itself offers exhibitions that illustrate the history and development of the glacier and a fascinating view of the retreating ice. The area around the center is criss-crossed by easily accessible trails such as the Photo Point Trail and the popular Nugget Falls Trail, which takes you to the roaring Nugget Falls. For nature lovers, the Steep Creek Trail is a highlight - especially during salmon season, when bears gather at the stream. From elevated walkways you can observe the animals without disturbing their peace. In winter, a completely different scene awaits you, when nature freezes in silent beauty. Take the time to explore the short Trail of Time, which tells the history of the glacier on information boards and lets you delve deep into the formation of this unique landscape. The Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center is more than just a visitor center - it is an experience that shows you the power and fragility of nature first hand.

You can probably guess how Gold Creek got its name. But the history behind Ebner Falls — this picturesque waterfall in Gold Creek, which you can see from an overlook on the trail — is a little more obscure. It may have been named for one of the early miners in this area. You'll also find one of the more precarious sections of trail here, as it narrows to a footpath to skirt around a cliff.

The Mount Roberts Mountain House is the upper station for the Goldbelt Tramway — but you can also run up the mountain to get here. If you ran up and want to take the tram down, you might be asked to pay $5 for a tram ticket or, alternatively, buy $10 worth of products at the gift shop in the Mountain House, which comes with a free tram ride back down the mountain.

Technically, this beautifully maintained walking trail is known as the Emergency Vehicle Access Road, or EVAR, for nearby Juneau International Airport. But most people call this pathway the Airport Dike Trail — because it runs along the airport's dike — or the Mendenhall Refuge Trail, because it passes through Mendenhall Wetlands State Game Refuge. Many describe it as wheelchair and stroller-accessible, but you might want to use caution as the pathway mostly consists of hard-packed gravel. The proximity to the wetlands refuge makes this a fantastic place for birding during spring, summer and fall. According to Audubon Alaska, this is one of the most-visiting birding sites in the Juneau area. On relatively clear days, you can also enjoy expansive views across the Mendenhall Wetlands.

The Tongass National Forest is the largest national forest in the United States, covering much of Southeast Alaska and surrounding even its largest communities. This is a temperate rainforest so, although you won't get to enjoy tropical heat, you might spot eagles, ravens, or bears as you wander through towering spruce, cedar, and hemlock trees. Occasional boardwalks and stairs make it easier to navigate the land contours hidden beneath the forest.
