I cut this video for Above and Beyond Alaska to highlight the amazing trips that they offer. We spent one week in Juneau and took four separate trips with them. We camped next to the Lemon Glacier, we hiked with Grizzly Bears, we kayaked with Humpback Whales, and we explored the ice caves of the Mendenhall Glacier.
Our first trip was the Glacier Camp Overnight on Lemon Glacier. We took a helicopter up to our base camp which was next to a turquoise alpine lake and two huge glacier-melt waterfalls. We went glacier trekking on the ice with crampons and ice axes. We repelled into an ice cave. We tried some ice climbing. An we hiked down to the terminus of the whole glacier.
Our second trip involved a float plane from Juneau and kayaking from Windfall Island to Pack Creek, Admiralty Island where we hiked among the highest density of Brown Bears (aka Grizzly Bears) in the world. We also hiked through old growth rainforests, saw bald eagles, salmon swimming up stream, and enjoyed the sights of one of the most beautiful,,remote settings in the world.
The third adventure was a whale watching and kayak trip around the Channel Islands. We saw a pod of 10-12 Humpback Whales bubble net feeding and swimming together. We even saw one breach completely out of the water but I missed it with my camera! Then we kayaked around and saw more spouts on the horizon before heading back.
Our final trip was a canoe paddle out to Mendenhall Glacier where we used micro spikes to walk on the ice and check out an incredible ice cave.

ALASKAN CRUISE VACATION: HIKING THE MOUNT ROBERTS TRAIL IN JUNEAU ALASKA!
I decided to take the Mount Roberts hiking trail down from the upper tram station in Juneau, Alaska during our Alaskan cruise vacation. The rest of the family took the Mount Roberts Tramway back down and I met them at the bottom. The funny thing? I nearly beat them with the wait to get back on the tram! :)
Here's a little more about the Mount Roberts Trail -- I especially like the part about where they recommend that guests do not hike the trail I hiked in this video. :)
Take a walk in the wild at the top of the Mount Roberts Tramway.
Bring your camera to capture breathtaking views from the Mountain House platform and other observation points.
Outside the Mountain House at the 1,800-foot level of Mount Roberts, trails begin in a sub-alpine ecosystem before leading into the true alpine another 300 feet up. The main trail takes hikers to open vistas, mountain valleys, snow gullies, rocky ridges and stunning views of mountains in Glacier Bay, British Columbia, the Southeast Alaskan panhandle and Admiralty Island National Monument.
The well-marked trail system has hikes suitable for every ability level, including a trail that is handicap-accessible. Interpretive markers describing many of the flowers, plants, trees, birds and animals are placed along the loop trail for self-guided walks. Visitors can discover Mount Roberts' trails, birds, wildlife and wildflowers on their own or purchase a guided tour with an expert naturalist.
Hiking Trail Attractions
Wildlife
Eagles, ravens, ptarmigan, grouse, marmots, Sitka black tail deer, red squirrels, mountain goats, black bears and porcupine are among the mammals found in the sub-alpine and alpine environments.
Plant Life
The lush rain forest and sub-alpine meadows yield an abundance of wildflowers and colorful ground cover.
Culturally Modified Trees
Trees with totemic carvings depicting Native legends are found along the trails. For more information, see the book Along the Mount Roberts Trail in Juneau, Alaska, available at Raven Eagle Gifts or online at raveneaglegifts.com.
Hiking Trail Notes
The Mount Roberts Tramway recommends that guests hike the trails leading up the mountain rather than trying to hike the steep trail that leads down through the forest to the edge of town, which is a steep, muddy, slippery trail with unmarked hazards.
Alaskan trails can be unforgiving. Always hike with a companion, let someone know where you are going and when you expect to return, carry plenty of water, use foot wear that provides good traction and ankle support, dress for weather, take a map or GPS and be aware of changing conditions.
