Our recent adventures in Alaska brought us to Juneau, where we went hiking for 4 hours. It was raining, but we still got to see a lot of sites that we would not have had we not gone out hiking. Here we are as we get ready with the group we were with to take off.
You definitely had to have the right gear. With the rain, they helped provide the ponchos. As we went into the rain forest, we got to see some very nice waterfalls.
Everything was so lush and green. They told us that out of a 100 days during the summer time in Alaska, 85 of the days have rain. But you really saw the greens in the rain forest. Moss growing everywhere.
But the best part is we got to see the Mendenhall Glacier up a lot closer. There was a huge waterfall off to the side, but for this adventure, to get closer to that, we would have had to go on the 7 hour hike.
At one spot, they had built a balcony for picture taking, with this in the background.
It was well worthwhile going on the hike. We got to see things up close that you would not have been able to otherwise. Keep moving everybody!
