Top 7 Hiking Trails in Juneau, Alaska (AK)

August 22, 2021 Jana Sager

Because of its ideal location between the base of Mount Juneau and the Gastineau Channel, the Southeastern Alaskan city of Juneau has been the home of Native American fisherman, European fur traders, and American gold prospectors. Now a free-spirited state capital, Juneau is the perfect base for a journey into the gorgeous Alaskan wilderness, whether it's for fishing, kayaking, and dog sledding in the National Parks, whale-watching at Icy Strait, or glacier hiking at the Juneau Icefield.

Perseverance National Recreation Trail

Reviewed By GMLfromTexas - San Antonio, United States

Probably the most physically demanding trail we explored during our stay in Juneau. This is primarily because it is all uphill (mild to moderate grades) going in, but oddly enough the trip back seemed harder on the legs. Trail is in good shape although it is prone to rock slides, so there are patched segments (no difficulty with negotiating). More joggers than the other trails we were on in Juneau as it is apparently the "training run" for the more athletically inclined residents. Make sure you go to the falls.

Mount Roberts Trail

Hiking trail beginning in downtown Juneau that is great for novices.

This was a challenging climb but worth the effort. A small gift shop and museum at top. Great views of the port below. Hikers are able to ride the Tram down for $10 (or spend $10 on gifts/food for a free ride down).
