YouTube Video Description↓

Not content with renting a car in Alaska during our recent cruise onboard the NCL Bliss... we BORROWED an Alaskan's CAR in Juneau (through turn.com) and then DROVE to Alaska's MENDENHALL GLACIER!!! There, we hike to the waterfall on the Nugget Falls Trail, view the Mendenhall Glacier itself from different angles, and hike back to the visitors centre... all before the crowds arrived! What else did we drive around and see? Was it worth it? The answer to these questions and more await you in this week's vlog! See you next time! - Beth and Tony @TravellingWithTeens #juneau #alaskacruise 00:00 Using Turo in Alaska 04:21 The Drive to Mendenhall Glacier 07:00 The Nugget Falls Trail 11:05 Nugget Falls and Mendenhall Glacier 16:49 Exploring Juneau by Car 22:09 Driving Back to Port
