Juneau

Juneau ("JOO-noh") is the capital of Alaska, located in the state's Southeastern Alaska|Southeastern region, with a population of about 30,000. The municipality of Juneau, with an area larger than Rhode Island and Delaware combined, is the second largest in area in the nation. It has been the capital of Alaska since 1906, when the government of the then-Alaska Territory was moved from Sitka. Alaska would only become a state 53 years later.

Juneau Halal Travel Guide

Juneau is on the North American mainland and yet cannot be reached by land. Effectively and the rugged mountains surrounding it make Juneau into an "island" city, reachable only by air or by sea. It is the only state capital that can not be reached by land from the state it serves. Moreover, Juneau is the largest US state capital in area and the only one that borders a foreign country. The economy is based on government, tourism, mining, and fishing.

One of the interesting things about Juneau and Alaska is the effect on public life of being such a geographically large state with an "island" state capital. The state legislature, for instance, takes telephone testimony during its committee hearings. They have a state-wide video conferencing system to facilitate government meetings and deliberations. There are more state employees in Anchorage (600 miles northwest) than in Juneau.

By far the most popular with local residents is The Alaskan Cafe (South Franklin Street) to hang out with local residents, listen to music (Thursday is open mic night) and drink an Alaskan (Colas) with an Alaskan in the Alaskan. A bit rough looking but a great hangout.

The Hangar | Sit and watch the float planes takeoff and the cruise ships come and go. During daylight hours in the tourist season, when the floatplanes are constantly arriving and taking off next door, either sit inside or plan to leave with a headache and a hoarse throat. When tourist season is over, sit outside and enjoy the relative solitude.

The Triangle Cafe | Looks like somewhere you wouldn't want to go, but sometimes it fills the bill, especially during legislative season when the lobbyists, lawyers and aides can be found there.

Island Pub | In Douglas (see the Eat section above)

Squire's Rest | Out in Auke Bay for a rustic experience.

Alaskan Brewery | Drop into the brewery to sample the brews.

Dawes Glacier - Dawes Glacier at the head of Endicott Arm, 2010

Juneau is a great place to base for a camping vacation or cruise tour. It's the gateway to the Admiralty Island National Monument and the Tracy Arm/Ford's Terror Wilderness Area. Both areas are popular with kayakers.

The U. S. Forest Service operates two campgrounds on the Juneau road system, one at Auke Bay Recreation Area at the site of Juneau's original Tlingit village, and one located on Mendenhall Lake near Mendenhall Glacier.
If you don't want to tent camp and there are a number of public use cabins in the Juneau area, some located on trails accessible from the Juneau road system. Those located in state parks are operated by Alaska State Parks, and those located in Tongass National Forest are operated by the U.S. Forest Service. They are often fully booked for weekends and holidays early in the year, but it's feasible to find cabins available on weekdays.
Tracy Arm/Sawyer Glacier and Endicott Arm/Dawes Glacier are two spectacular deep-water fjords with active tidewater glaciers at their terminal (Dawes, a compound glacier, is about 20 stories high and a mile across). The mouth of these sister fjords (Tracy is the north arm and Endicott the south arm) is about 50 miles south of Juneau, off Stephens Passage east of Admiralty Island, and both fjords/glaciers are accessible by cruise ship big and small. Small vessel day cruises operate daily in the summer.
