Juneau, the capital of Alaska, was founded during a gold rush in 1880. It was originally occupied by the Tlingit Indians and today is Alaska-F¢s largest-A town.

Located at the foot of grand mountain peaks on the Gastineau Channel, the town of Juneau has the massive Mendenhall Glacier and the immense Juneau Icefields at its back door. Climb aboard the Mt. Roberts Tramway for a great spot to hike and shoot a souvenir photo.
