Juneau City and mendenhall Glacier
If you’re cruising to Alaska soon, save this for later — this was one of our favorite multi‑generational excursions in Juneau. We booked the Juneau City & Mendenhall Glacier Tour because we needed something easy for my parents (70s), fun for my teen, and scenic enough to feel like “Alaska.”

Total hike with two kids under five took around 2 hours. Easy hike - not too many hills and a well defined trail. Rained part of the way but trail was partially covered. We took the shoreline back up to the beginning of the trail which added time to our loop. ❄️

Magical moment in the arctic (Alaska Glacier)⛸️🪽
Add this to your bucket list! Skating on a frozen lake in the mountains to go see a glacier. Portage Lake is one of the best lakes to ice skate in Alaska because it has many miles of skating and a glacier at the end. You can go skiing on it if there’s snow or just hike out there with snow boots.
