The background of this months issue of Travelwise™ is of the Mendenhall Glacier Ice Caves, only 12 miles from downtown Juneau, Alaska.
The Mendenhall Glacier is a 12-mile-long glacier in the Mendenhall Valley. The glacier originally had two names: Sitaantaagu (“Glacier Behind the Town”) and Aak’wtaaksit (“Glacier Behind the Little Lake”). Inside the glacier are the stunning blue ice caves, accessible only to those willing to kayak to the edge of the ice and then climb over the glacier.
The Mendenhall Glacier can be seen from the visitor center on Mendenhall Loop Road. From there you can take trails to the ice caves. A guided tour is recommended to make sure the caves are accessible and secure, as they are known to melt and cave in. Ice cave tours usually run from July to September. The glacier is federally protected as part of the Mendenhall Glacier Recreation Area, a unit of the Tongass National Forest.
For those of you that are more adventurous try the Paddle & Trek Tour that Princess Cruises offers. |
