This is part 3 of our 7 Day Roundtrip Alaska CruiseTrip from Vancouver, BC.
This video covers our first port of call - Capital City of Juneau. Don't miss the beautiful city of Juneau, Disney Cruise Ship, Sea Planes and wonderful mountain views...
The City and Borough of Juneau, is the capital city of Alaska. Located in the Gastineau Channel and the Alaskan panhandle, it is a unified municipality and the second largest city in the United States by area. Juneau was named the capital of Alaska in 1906, when the government of what was then the District of Alaska was moved from Sitka as dictated by the U.S. Congress in 1900. The municipality unified on July 1, 1970, when the city of Juneau merged with the city of Douglas and the surrounding Greater Juneau Borough to form the current municipality, which is larger by area than both Rhode Island and Delaware.
Downtown Juneau (58°18′07″N 134°25′11″W) is nestled at the base of Mount Juneau and across the channel from Douglas Island. As of the 2010 census, the City and Borough had a population of 31,276. In 2014, the population estimate from the United States Census Bureau was 32,406, making it the second most populous city in Alaska after Anchorage. Juneau experiences a daily influx of roughly 6,000 people from visiting cruise ships between the months of May and September.
The city is named after a gold prospector from Quebec, Joe Juneau, though the place was for a time called Rockwell and then Harrisburg (after Juneau's co-prospector, Richard Harris). The Tlingit name of the town is Dzántik'i Héeni (Base of the Flounder’s River, dzánti ‘flounder,’ –kʼi ‘base,’ héen ‘river’), and Auke Bay just north of Juneau proper is called Áak'w (Little lake, áa ‘lake,’ -kʼ ‘diminutive’) in Tlingit. The Taku River, just south of Juneau, was named after the cold t'aakh wind, which occasionally blows down from the mountains.
Juneau is unusual among U.S. capitals (except Honolulu, Hawaii) in that there are no roads connecting the city to the rest of Alaska or to the rest of North America (although ferry service is available for cars). The absence of a road network is due to the extremely rugged terrain surrounding the city. This in turn makes Juneau a de facto island city in terms of transportation, since all goods coming in and out must go by plane or boat, in spite of the city being on the Alaskan mainland. Downtown Juneau sits at sea level, with tides averaging 16 feet (5 m), below steep mountains about 3,500 feet (1,100 m) to 4,000 feet (1,200 m) high. Atop these mountains is the Juneau Icefield, a large ice mass from which about 30 glaciers flow; two of these, the Mendenhall Glacier and the Lemon Creek Glacier, are visible from the local road system. The Mendenhall glacier has been gradually retreating; its front face is declining in width and height.

Last Chance Mining Museum in Juneau, Alaska
The Jualpa Mining Camp, also known as the Last Chance Basin Camp, is a former gold mining camp, just outside the city of Juneau, Alaska. Its main building is now operated as the Last Chance Mining Museum by the Gastineau Historical Society. The camp was located on the southern banks of Gold Creek, about 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Juneau, near what is now the end of Basin Road. The camp was the site of one of the largest gold finds in the Juneau mining district. It was established between 1910 and 1913 by the Alaska-Juneau Gold Mining Company and operated until 1944, producing more than $80 million worth of gold. The largest surviving structure of the camp is its air compressor building, which was 84 feet (26 m) long, and still houses the compressor used by the company. Also surviving are a variety of railroad-related resources, which the company used to bring or to its mill on the Gastineau channel, an electrical transformer house, powder magazine, and cable hoist.
Laurel Bill on Alaska Story time with Aunt Phil, Juneau becomes capital
Did you know that Juneau is the only state capital that is not accessible by a road system? One must take a boat or an airplane to get there. Alaska author/historian Laurel Downing Bill sheds light on how How did this isolated community became the capital of America's largest state on this episode of Alaska Story Time with Aunt Phil.
On Sept. 8, 1906, Alaska’s seat of government finished its move from Sitka to Juneau. Sitka had been Russian American seat at the time Alaska became a possession of the United States in 1867 – Kodiak before that. The first Organic Act of 1884 officially declared it the temporary seat of government and Sitka became a thriving business and cultural center.
So why did the Americans choose to move the seat of government to Juneau – especially since it also only was accessible by ship (or plane nowadays).
The discovery of gold deposits in the area that became Juneau-Douglas caused that region to grow larger than Sitka in population, influence and accommodations. A need also grew to settle boundary disputes, contracts, payments and other legal matters. That meant trips to Sitka to see a judge.
Well, only two ships a month sailed between Juneau and Sitka. So if attorneys had issues to resolve, they had to hope they could conclude their business quickly or they would have to wait two weeks to catch the next ship back home.
Juneau lawyers began pressuring Congress to pass a bill that would move Alaska’s seat of government to Juneau, stating the town now was the largest city in Alaska, had become an established mining town and had a promising future.
Their efforts succeeded. President William McKinley signed the Alaska Bill, or Civil Code, into law on June 6, 1900, and it put the capital in Juneau. The 600-page document was the longest bill ever passed by Congress at the time.
Moving the seat of government to Juneau wasn’t a big deal for most of Juneau’s residents and merchants. It basically meant that the governor and surveyor-general’s offices would relocate. But then-governor John Brady resisted. He did not want to leave Sitka, because he had a nice home, gardens and business ventures there.
It took six years for the governor’s office to move. The Interior Department finally terminated Brady’s tenure and appointed Wilford B. Hoggatt as governor in March 1906. Hoggatt immediately set up an office in Juneau. In September, the surveyor-general boarded a steamer with 40 tons of paperwork and traveled to Juneau, which completed the transfer of Alaska’s “seat of government.”
Juneau officially became Alaska’s first and only capital in 1912 when Alaska became a territory of the United States. That’s when they started building the Governor’s Mansion.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

The City and Borough of Juneau ( JOO-noh; Tlingit: Dzánti K'ihéeni [ˈtsántʰì kʼìˈhíːnì]), commonly known as Juneau, is the capital city of Alaska. It is a unified municipality on Gastineau Channel in the Alaskan panhandle, and it is the second largest city in the United States by area.

The City and Borough of Juneau is the capital city of Alaska. It is a unified municipality located on the Gastineau Channel in the Alaskan panhandle and is the 2nd largest city in the United States by area. It has been the capital of Alaska since 1906, when the government of the then-District of Alaska was moved from Sitka as dictated by the U.S. Congress in 1900. The municipality unified on July 1, 1970, when the city of Juneau merged with the city of Douglas and the surrounding Greater Juneau Borough to form the current home rule municipality.
The area of Juneau is larger than that of Rhode Island and Delaware individually and almost as large as the two states combined. Downtown Juneau 58°18′07″N 134°25′11″W is nestled at the base of Mount Juneau and across the channel from Douglas Island. As of the 2010 census, the City and Borough had a population of 31,275. As of July 2011 the population estimate from the United States Census Bureau is 32,164, making it the second most populous city in Alaska.[3] However, Fairbanks is the second-largest metropolitan area in the state, with more than 97,000 residents.
Juneau is named after gold prospector Joe Juneau, though the place was for a time called Rockwell and then Harrisburg (after Juneau's co-prospector, Richard Harris). The Tlingit name of the town is Dzántik'i Héeni (Base of the Flounder's River, dzánti 'flounder', --kʼi 'base', héen 'river'), and Auke Bay just north of Juneau proper is called Áak'w (Little lake, áa 'lake', -kʼ 'diminutive') in Tlingit. The Taku River, just south of Juneau, was named after the cold t'aakh wind, which occasionally blows down from the mountains.
Downtown Juneau sits at sea level, with tides averaging 16 feet (5 m), below steep mountains about 3,500 feet (1,100 m) to 4,000 feet (1,200 m) high. Atop these mountains is the Juneau Icefield, a large ice mass from which about 30 glaciers flow; two of these, the Mendenhall Glacier and the Lemon Creek Glacier, are visible from the local road system; the Mendenhall glacier has been generally retreating; its front face is declining both in width and height.
The Alaska State Capitol in downtown Juneau was originally built as the Federal and Territorial Building in 1931. Prior to statehood, it housed federal government offices, the federal courthouse and a post office. It also housed the territorial legislature and many other territorial offices, including that of the governor. Today, it is still the home of the state legislature and the offices of the governor and lieutenant governor. Other executive branch offices have largely moved elsewhere, in Juneau or elsewhere in the state, in the ongoing battle between branches for space in the building, as well as the decades-long capital move issue. Recent discussion has been focused between relocating the seat of state government outside of Juneau and building a new capitol building in Juneau. Neither position has advanced very far. The Alaska Committee, a local community advocacy group, has led efforts to thus far keep the capital in Juneau.

For any copyright, please send me a message. All around me was the sound of rushing water as droplets turned to streams then raging torrents, carving new fissures in the Mendenhall Glacier - a staple of Alaskan cruise ship itineraries. From its base, the soot-covered glacier looked like a dirty whipped meringue on a giant Baked Alaska. But the state of Alaska is indeed being baked, with the Mendenhall Glacier - and 95 percent of all others - in rapid retreat. To get to Mendenhall, we had to kayak 2½ miles across Lake Mendenhall in freezing winds. But until 1903, the lake did not even exist as it was covered by the glacier. On the way, we passed the US Forest Service Visitor Center which, when it opened in 1962, was right next to the mouth of the glacier, but we still had another 1.5 miles of lake to navigate. We also paddled past Nugget Falls - a waterfall higher than Niagara, which only began flowing in the mid-1980s. Overall, since 1765, Mendenhall has shrunk back about three miles. In those days, the glacier was retreating around 1ft a year but thanks to climate change, today's figures are far more terrifying. Ranger Griffin Pelaia said: By the 1950s, this had risen to about 60ft a year. In 2011 it retreated a record 437ft - or eight times faster than it should. Mendenhall is one of more than 30 glaciers fed by the Juneau Icefield, which - at 1,500 sq miles or an area the size of Kent - is the fifth largest in the US. The icefield itself is reducing by around 20ft in height every year. A documentary by the US Forest Service tells visitors that glaciers are retreating at an unprecedented speed. Small wonder, then, that Mike Brown - our guide from Above & Beyond Alaska - said he moved to the area from Baltimore because he wanted to see the glaciers before they die. Mendenhall is melting so rapidly that the US Forest Service is considering building a mobile visitor centre that can gradually follow the glacier as it retreats up the slope. There are real fears that Mendenhall could disappear completely within the next 30 years. Bob Janes, who runs whale watching tour specialist Gastineau Guiding Company, took me to the spot where the glacier mouth stood when he first moved to Juneau as a 16-year-old in 1964. Now, it is open water and the glacier mouth is roughly 1½ miles away. Bob, now 70, said: We are at Ground Zero in Alaska when it comes to climate change.We see its impact in our everyday life. Mendenhall is not the only glacier retreating in the state - dubbed America's icebox. About 80 miles up the coast is Glacier Bay, one of the most popular destinations for cruise ships. At the time of the American Revolution, in the 1700s, there was no bay, just glacier - but it has retreated about 40 miles since

The Marjory & Edgar Huizer Fishing Access Site
The new Marjory & Edgar Fishing Site Enhancement Project is quickly becoming a reality! Located on North Douglas Highway in Juneau, Alaska, this new site will provide easy and safe access to Gastineau Channel and the Mendenhall Wetlands State Refuge (Refuge) for fishing and recreation. The Southeast Alaska Land Trust has been working to develop a site plan that will include approximately 75 feet of beach access stairs down to Gastineau Channel and the Refuge, creation of a public parking area, bank restoration and stabilization, and installation of a property kiosk and signage.
As residents of Juneau, we’ve seen the positive effects of public recreation areas on our community. These spaces give families an outlet for their energetic kids, provide a gathering place for making memories, and even allow for a sustainable way of life. We want to promote healthy living within our community, and we’re ready to get started.
If you would like to help support this effort, please donate online at : generosity.com/community-fundraising/marjory-edgar-huizer-fishing-access-site, at our website: SoutheastAlaskaLandTrust.org, or mail a check to our office at 119 Seward Street, Ste. 2, Juneau, AK 99801
