Скачать или смотреть Juneau- Nugget Falls Walk

At the Mendenhall Glacier Recreation Area is a trail that skirts the lake and ends at Nugget Falls. While you can’t touch the glacier, it is the closest you can approach without local knowledge.

I start in the parking lot and finish at the sandbar below the falls, you can decide for yourself if you should take the hike.

If you’re on a cruise ship, pay attention to the timing. Most tours provide only an hour and the walk took me twenty minutes one-way. You might be slower as there is much to see.

The weather is typical. This video was taken in October, but similar weather happens all summer long. In the winter there is ice and often snow, we are right next to the Juneau Ice Field after all.
