Our trip to Juneau began with a tour around town and ended with a 1000 feet ascent up the hill next to the Mendenhall Glacier. The city of Juneau was quite nice once you get out of the tourist spots. The hike was in the biggest range of rainforest in the world – the Pacific Coast rainforest. I was a bit surprised to know that this area was such a major rainforest but the thick vegetation and significant variety of fungi was indicative of the climate. We hiked up really rugged and steep terrain to get to this beautiful vista. Enjoy the photos.
love the hat show. you both look so fashionable… did you hike to the top of mendenhall? i hear it is a long hike!! ledgend has it, if you eat the red mushroom before the hike you can hike to the top without even lifting a shoe.
