The waterfall & ice cave under the glacier are quite possibly the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life. If you're physically able, a hike to the glacier and cave will change your life!

Gina Coleman

Definitely take advantage of one of the many hiking trails around the glacier. It's a great way to see it without alot of other people around - time to enjoy the clean air and quiet !

Matt Ferrari

Beautiful glacier with a lot of trails . If you walk to the west (not on regular trail map) for about 7 miles, you can actually touch the glacier. For regulars, walk to the waterfall , still beautiful

Get up close and personal with a glacier: This massive, 12-mile-long ice block hangs out just northwest of Juneau. Stop by the visitor center for a breathtaking lookout. Read more

They recommend to bring a friend when hiking the trails , in case of bears . And check out the map to make sure you're going the right way ????

Connie Lu

Spend some time reading the signs along the path. You learn tons about the nature and animals in the area.

The flight by helicopter was incredible! Take this as a must in your tour .

Kornel Rost

The water fall is a little over a mile! Walk fast or start walking early... so you don't miss the bus back!

Montserrat L

A wonderful and amazing place , if you can, take the tour by walking in the caves .

Marty Hergert

Prepare for some crowds. The number one tourist destination in Juneau. Hike to Nugget Falls to see the glacier up close.

Easy 4 shuttles and vista is 45 mins 2 hours if u can do the nugget trail

Rob Stanford

If you get up on the glacier, make sure to taste some of the running glacier water ...amazingly cold and fresh!

The rangers said if you see a bear , either talk or sing to it to make it go away. TIL bears are introverts.

Diane Braid

Go and enjoy. Lots of hikes and walks. Very beautiful any season.

Roaming Gnome

You can go see ice caves and drink pure glacier water here. Drink the water second though. Ice caves don't have bathrooms .

Tabitha O'Malley

The veiw and occasional mountian goat . The walk and glacier are hard to beat

If you're going to nugget falls make sure you have time to come back and catch your bus .
