Mendenhall Glacier

Mendenhall Glacier, which spans 12 miles from the Juneau Icefield to Mendenhall Lake, is one of Alaska's most well-known tourist attractions. Its stunning blue hue is caused by the crystalline structure of the ice, which influences how light reflects off the ice.

Ice climbing and discovering ice caves are two of the most popular glacier-related activities. There are also a few well-kept hiking routes that lead up to the glacier. Visitors may float among the bergs by taking a rafting or kayaking tour. While exploring this magnificent blue terrain, it is usual to see wildlife such as black bears, porcupines, and beavers.

Between May through October, when the weather is more likely to be sunny, is arguably the ideal time to visit.
