Alaska – Day 5 – 6/30/15

I have 24 hours in Juneau starting at 7am.

Beautiful morning

Mendenhall Glacier

I hiked up to the top of Gastineau Peak. 3666 ft in 3 miles.  I love these hikes you can do right from town.  They have been plenty hard too. I was rewarded with gorgeous views in all directions. 

What flower is this?

The top

A 3X lens can only do so much.

A tram takes lazy people about half way up (or down).  On my way down I stopped and asked how much a one way ticket was.  $10 or buy $10 of food or drink in the restaurant and just show your receipt.  That was an easy decision.  I had my first beer of the trip and decided to be lazy.
