Mendenhall Glacier Review

Juneau is the capital of Alaska and a bigger city in the southern part of the state. We arrived at the cruise ship terminal and took a short walk to the downtown Transit Center bus station and hopped on a bus towards Mendenhall Glacier. The glaciers are always changing and shifting (now at a faster pace due to climate change). The park surrounding Mendenhall has a waterfall (Nugget Falls) and hiking trails as well. We took the same bus back downtown and walked around the city, grabbed some food to warm us up from the cold rain.

Juno's Mendenhall Glacier) The park has a huge glacier 2 kilometers wide, which forms a small lake, about 20 kilometers north of downtown Juno. There is also a waterfall in the park.

Glacier Park is the first stop to visit the attractions of Zhu teacher Nuo. The park is very big, and the park feels like a special surprise. The endless glacier can only be felt by you in it.

Glacier National Park in summer has a beautiful scenery. The peaceful lake like a mirror can be seen everywhere on foot in the park. The end of the hiking route with the waterfall is Avalanche Lake, which has only 5 steps to and fro. It belongs to the hiking route for young and old. I like Grinnell Glacier's 8-way hiking route best, along which the green lake water reflects various kinds of wildflowers, and then I can see the snow mountain with the last glacier hanging up, the cool wind blowing, people swimming in the painting.

Mendenhall Glacier Park is the main attraction in Juno. Mendenhall Glacier is a typical retreat glacier, about 27 meters per year. We can only see the glacier in the glacier park, and can approach Lake Mendenhall and the waterfall on the right side of the glacier. If you take a seaplane, you can see the glacier up close. Although it is only a view of the glacier, the waterfall and the natural landscape in the park are worth seeing.

Glacier Park is a place that everyone will go to Alaska, especially in winter, the glacier park is very large, and the glacier and the lake under the glacier form two scenes. It is quite interesting and a place to enjoy.
