We've been to Juneau a couple times before and done other things. This trip, we walked around town and got a snack at Tracy's Crab Shack. Not much else was open. Of note; pre-cruise documents had this as a "tender" port which it wasn't. ...
Did the Sled Dog Discovery and Musher's Camp. Turned out to be great fun running in a wheeled cart behind 16 sled dogs! Got to learn about their offseason training. I was surprised at how small the dogs really are. I guess the mushers need uniform size so that the pull evenly.
Downtown Juneau is all flat and an easy walk if you just want to stroll around town. ...
We rented a car on our own from Turo and it was great! We got to see the Mendenhall Glacier on our own and visited some interesting local pubs and out of the way places like Eagle Beach. ...
Lots of shopping. No excursions to mendenhall glacier from independent tour operators as the licences were all sold out. You need to book thru the ship. The boardwalk is nice. Loved the Alaskan state museum. Would highly recommend it. ...
