Juneau, the capital of Alaska, is a small city (but big by Alaska standards) started out as a mining town. I enjoyed my visit and up to the top of the mountain for a view of the city. I was then off for a helicopter for two glacier visits.

I'm glad we had a capable pilot. The ice boots they provided came in handy for preventing slips! |

That's me standing on top of the Mendenhall Glacier. Note the ice boots and the life preserver (just in case). |
