Description
Discover Juneau's highlights on a bus tour, seeing the town's famous 40-foot breaching whale sculpture, a lookout with panoramic views of downtown Juneau, and a stop to see the Coastal Mountain Range.
Explore one of the most unique state capitals in the U.S.: Juneau. Begin your tour at the base of majestic Mt. Juneau in the historical downtown district. Hop on your bus and drive through downtown and see the streets lined with gift shops, jewelry shops, king crab shacks, and local fish restaurants. Get a glimpse at the governor’s mansion, and if you’re lucky, see the world famous Red Dog Saloon.
Stop at Overstreet Park to see a lifesize breaching whale sculpture and water fountain display in a very picturesque area on the north end of Gastineau Channel next to the Juneau-Douglas bridge. Then, make your way across the bridge to Douglas Island for a stop at Homestead Park.
Here, walk down some stairs to a viewing platform and be awed by the striking panoramic view of downtown Juneau with snow capped mountains in the background. Head back across the bridge and drive on the only highway in Juneau, embarking on a 10-mile scenic drive. See fishing boat harbors, a wetland refuge, and the mighty Chilkat Mountain Range.
At mile marker 10, pull into what is known as Brotherhood Bridge Park. Here, get spectacular views of the Mendenhall Glacier and mountains of the Coastal Range. Drive back to Juneau to enjoy your evening at your own pace, perhaps to enjoy an Alaskan beer with a king crab leg or a visit to the historic Red Dog Saloon for a shot of the famous Duck Fart.
