Creator's Key Takeaways

we really enjoyed our Excursion and the City of junor it's a very laidback City very pleasant and really nice to explore

the walk itself was really nice and took us around 30 minutes at most each we so the kids managed it just fine

it was really impressive and well worth the trip out

if you only have time for one walk this is probably the one to do

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book excursions early, between 75 and 123 days before sailing, depending on your Castaway Club level.
If you want to see the glacier up close, consider other excursions as the Nugget Falls Trail doesn't show the glacier well.
The free shuttle bus from the ship to the city center only takes a couple of minutes.
If you're not on a Disney excursion, the ship won't wait for you if you return late.

How to get from the ship to the city centerTake the free shuttle bus, which only takes a couple of minutes.
Whether to book excursions through the ship or independentlyBook through Disney for simplicity, but always weigh the risk of the ship not waiting if you're late.

YouTube Video Description

Hello Everyone! We are Paradise Falls Family - we're a family of four who love to explore the world together. We are hoping by sharing some of our top tips for each destination we will inspire you (and save you some research!) We had a wonderful trip to Canada and Alaska in August 2024 and have done a series of videos we hope will help with your planning! This video shows our time at Juneau. We visited the Mendenhall Glacier, hiked the Steep Creek Trail and the Nugget Falls Trail to see the wonderful waterfall, Nugget Falls. We then explored the town of Juneau itself.
