Juneau, Alaska - Mendenhall Glacier by Public Bus - What to Do in Port

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators document a day trip in Juneau, Alaska, starting from their cruise ship. They begin by walking to the local transit center to catch a bus toward Mendenhall Glacier. After a two dollar bus ride, they disembark at Dredge Lake Road and walk approximately one and a half miles through the Tongass National Forest to reach the glacier visitor center. The creators explore the photo point to view the receding glacier and then hike the Nugget Falls Trail to see the waterfall. Following their hike, they visit the visitor center to view exhibits and shop for souvenirs. The trip continues with a bus ride to a local Costco, which they note is reportedly the smallest in the world, though they find the experience similar to other locations. They conclude their excursion by taking the bus back to the transit center and walking along the downtown boardwalk to return to their ship.
