JUNEAU WILDERNESS & GLACIER ADVENTURE

Juneau only has 42 miles of road; however, it has 250 miles of hiking and biking trails. With that ratio, it only makes sense that we support a local organization dedicated to the building and maintenance of Juneau’s trail system. You’ll get your hands dirty (literally) as an environmental steward, all while supporting trail building and improvement efforts. Projects could include gravel-laying, trail construction or fencing and signage refurbishment. As you support these efforts, you’ll also be learning about to whom this land belongs and how public lands are managed in Southeast Alaska. Additionally, you may support another organization whose mission is to sustain salmon resources in Alaska, a critical resource for the economy and culture of the state.

Alaska is known to be an outdoors lover’s paradise — and for good reason. With 250 miles of easily accessible trails and easy water access, Juneau residents are known to casually hike an incredible trail before work, and then throw in a lake or sea kayak at lunchtime! We’ll do the same as the locals do, weaving in hiking, kayaking or canoeing into our daily schedule. We’ll also partake in some bigger-ticket adventure activities that are must-dos. Experience a fjord tour, during which you’ll explore the stunning Tracy Arm Wilderness Area, getting up close to glaciers, icebergs, waterfalls and lots of wildlife — an Alaskan adventurer’s dream! We’ll also take a tram up 1,800 feet to Mt. Roberts, taking in breathtaking scenery from above and traveling from sea level to rainforest to mountain peak on the way up. We’ll hike to a glacier and check out some bear and wildlife viewing platforms across the way. We will also visit an incredible bald eagle nature preserve.
