To the east is the vast expanse of glacial ice known as the Juneau Icefield, and to the west are the wilderness islands of the Inside Passage. Because of the natural beauty that surrounds the city—as well as its gold-rush-era buildings and many shops—this state capital is a popular tourist destination. In fact, Juneau is visited by more cruise ships than any other port in Alaska. Sights—Mendenhall Glacier, Nugget Falls and the visitors center; the view of Juneau from the top of Mount Roberts Tramway; a flight over the Juneau Icefield; a floatplane excursion past glaciers; bears at Pack Creek Brown Bear Preserve on Admiralty Island; whale-watching; seeing the glacier calve at Tracy Arm Fjord. Museums—Relics from gold-rush days at the Juneau-Douglas City Museum; maps of the mine tunnels and gold-mining equipment at the Last Chance Mining Museum. Memorable Meals—An authentic salmon feast at Gold Creek Salmon Bake or at the Taku Glacier Lodge Flight and Feast; king crab legs and rich crab bisque at Tracy's King Crab Shack; barbecued king-salmon burgers at Twisted Fish Co.
