What to do and see in Juneau, Alaska (AK): The Best Other Outdoor Activities
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.

This has always been a highlight of during all of my Alaska cruises. This particular October day provided quite amazing. The Captain of the ship and the onboard Naturalist commented that they had never seen the surface of the water here so smooth. The sun was out and it was an unusually gorgeous day. [It can be quite overcast at times.] The ship did its typical pirouette allowing people to see 360 degrees - all sides. We were fortunate to see and hear some calving of the glacier as the ice broke away. But, on this trip, no whales, dolphins, bears or otters as I have seen on other trips. Excellent geological commentary by the Park Service people. You'll never reget your visit here.

The Dawes Glacier at the top of Endicott Arm was the last stop on our Un-cruise Alaskan adventure "Exploring Muir's Wilderness" aboard the Safari Endeavour. As we awoke on the Saturday morning sailing up the fjord, there was a chillier feel to the air as we navigated the ice floes. There was much excitement and anticipation before breakfast as the huge glacier came into view and we stood on the bow viewing area in awe. We anchored about half a mile away and were taken in groups in skiffs to within about a quarter of a mile to see it close up. The colours were amazing and the sheer scale difficult to comprehend and describe here-a mile wide and 250 feet high. We spent about an hour among the ice floes with our guide Tyler who was a mine of information. Before we left to go back the ship we shared hot chocolate and peppermint schnapps to warm us up. A memorable morning that won't be forgotten.

My four buddies and I did a four hour charter with Captain Terry and Andrew. The Halibut were biting like crazy! You will not be disappointed. We caught our limit with enough time to go see some whales. There were five to six whales in the bay with some great opportunities to enjoy their spender.
