Juneau – Alaska

What’s so exciting about Alaska’s capital city? How does over three million lakes, 34,000 miles of shoreline, and remote ice fields sound? Yeah, thought so.

Located on the picturesque Gastineau Channel, Juneau is a somewhat sleepy municipality renowned for its breathtaking natural landmarks. The length and destination of a Juneau Helicopter tour can vary quite dramatically. Fly over the Taku Glacier (the only advancing glacier on the Juneau Icefield), or set down on a remote alpine ridge and hike the wilderness. Heck, you can even go dog sledding!
