She is happy. She is glowing. She is thriving. She's in Juneau.

You, too, can be live your best life during your visit to Juneau! Here's a three day itinerary to maximize your precious time in our city:

Day 1: Arrive at your downtown hotel and hit the history and culture scene with stops at the Alaska State Museum, Juneau-Douglas City Museum, and Sealaska Heritage Institute all within walking distance of each other. Have dinner at The Hangar on the Wharf and watch floatplanes come and go while you enjoy fresh seafood and craft beers.

Day 2: Start your day with a latte from Heritage Coffee Roasting Co. then head out on the water for a whale watching adventure, keeping any eye out for orcas, humpbacks, and other marine mammals like sea otters and harbor seals!

Day 3: Get into the mountains with a ride on the Goldbelt Tram up Mount Roberts. Hike the trails, visit the nature center, or have lunch at the top and savor the view. After lunch, take a trip to Mendenhall Glacier and swing into the visitor center, where the mighty glacier's history is explained in detail. Walk the creekside boardwalks and see if bears are fishing for salmon, or try the trail to Nugget Falls for a rush of icy cold water coming right from the Juneau Icefield. Tonight, dine at SALT Alaska and raise a glass to your active Juneau experience, AND, make plans for a return visit!

Juneau is home to many totem poles, including the ones on the Kootéeyaa Deiyí, or Totem Pole Trail, which currently has 12 poles. Eventually, Sealaska Heritage Institute plans to install 30 poles along the docks (many will be representing clans). Want to find all the totem poles within Juneau?

The city has this great list (including the exact locations and the carver's name) here:https://juneau.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Totem-Poles-to-Find.pdf
