MENDENHALL GLACIER & NUGGET FALLS






We took a bus tour of the city of Juneau and the Mendenhall Glacier today!






A telephoto of the glacier ~ it's blue ~ icy blue!




We took a two mile round-trip hike to Nugget Falls ~ 34 years ago it was covered by the glacier ~ global warming is a real thing!!

We had a wonderful driver/tour guide ~ Archie ~ a Tlingit Indian ~ so interesting and informative!

It is a privilege to be able to see the glacier and this land of some real pioneers! Pretty rugged territory!

Nice photos of the glassier. It makes me cold just to think of ice. It must be special just to be there though.
Enjoy.
Hugs,

Looks like you're having a wonderful time.
I hope it's warmer there than it is here at home!
Happy cruising!
