Nestled at the foot of abrupt, peaks of the lush rainforest covered Inside Passage, the city and borough of Juneau is a safe yet modern wilderness municipality, Following the rugged coastline, the road system skirts the mountains, islands and peninsulas that define the layout of Juneau's neighborhoods. The Mendenhall Glacier receded to form the largest residential area along the Mendenhall River.

Historic downtown is home to the Capitol of Alaska as well as the docks for our summer cruise ships arrivals. The fjords of Southeast Alaska offer beauty and vistas on almost every street for Juneau residents.
