The weather was awesome. We took the Mendenhall Glacier and Scenic Wildlife tour. First we rode a bus to the Glacier Visitor Center, where we had about 45 minutes to take pictures and enjoy the scenery. There was a very large waterfall near the glacier you could hike to, but you may miss the bus if you do, as a few of our bus-mates found out). Then we went to the pier and boarded a large jetboat that with two glassed-in decks, plus lots of open area. Again, the weather was perfect, and the animals cooperated. We saw lots of eagles, sea lions, several humpback whales, including a youngster who entertained us for at least 20 minutes with its gymnastics, porpoises, and a variety of birds. The naturalist on the boat and the "captain" were very knowledgeable and made sure we had lots to see. Later that day we took the aerial tramway to the top of the "mountain" overlooking the city. Nice hiking trails and great views. Great shopping in Juneau.
