Alaska Trip: Juneau, Mount Roberts Day 5

Juneau

Mount Roberts

Another early morning, we got off ship and headed for the tramway to get up onto Mount Roberts and go for a short hike.  

On the way into town we saw these patriotic Bald Eagles.  Bald eagles were in plentiful supply around Juneau and it was good to see them doing so well.


Juneau is the Capitol of Alaska.  You can't get to it by road, due to the high mountains surrounding it, and every now and then there is call to move the Capitol to somewhere a bit more accessible, but so far it remains here.




Above was the first snow we had come across in Alaska and we thought we ought to stop and record the moment.  Nic looking cold is for show, it was actually very pleasant weather for walking.


At our stop point safely, no bears to run away from and safe from wolves.
