The 2nd part of our excursion in Juneau was a visit to the Mendenhall Glacier. We were only able to spend 1 hour at the glacier and it went so fast. I wish we could have stayed longer to really soak in all the beauty that surrounded us.
When we got off the bus and walked towards the trail and visitors center we say this.
Then when we hiked down to get closer to the glacier we saw this. Nugget Falls. It was so worth the hike down there. As we got closer and closer you could hear the sound of the waterfall.
This is probably my favorite picture from vacation. Something different and out of the ordinary. I love it!
While it looks like we were the only ones at the waterfall, we were not. It was a large area, swarming with other visitors. But, plenty of room for Addison to throw some rocks.
The girls loved climbing on the rocks. Lauren just told me this week she saw a sign that said "No climbing on the rocks" after she was done climbing of course. I never once saw that sign....we all laughed about it.
It was very relaxing just listening to the sound of the waterfall and looking at the glacier.
Yes, Lauren's boots ended up soaked as she went as far out into the water/rocks as she could.
When I turned around Addison was gone...and half way up the rocks with her cousin Eve.
Both girls really loved climbing and exploring. I think next summer in Colorado where we plan on hiking is going to be a blast!
Mark really wanted to go into the famous Reg Dog Saloon for some Alaskan beer, but it was packed. So he grudgingly settled for a picture outside.
We hit the shops to grab some souvenirs before getting back on the ship. It was an amazing day in Juneau.
This view from the top deck of our ship was even more amazing.
