The attractions of Juneau, State Capital of Alaska. Juneau is a fascinating small city with lots to offer the visitors, as I found out during my stay there.
Wow! Thank you for your comment. That's the sort of comment I like to get sent. I certainly enjoyed my time in Juneau which lasted for around a week. One of these days I will finish editing my Tracy Arm day trip. Problem for that is knowing what to take out to shorten video length.
Thanks for your message. I am glad you enjoyed the video it is certainly a great place to visit. You may also be interested in my video on Skagway. ua-cam.com/video/pufg61t6MEE/v-deo.html
Very nice video, well done. I have lived in Juneau for the past 26 years and I still love it. I retired from the Alaska state ferries and ran mostly from Skagway in the north to Bellingham, Wa. and all points in between. That never got old. It changes all the time and you see new sights or old sights differently, so if you've been here before, you still have a lot to see, take it from me.
Mari yo separe mi boleto en el Bliss para el 2020.. Así tengo bastante tiempo para pagarlo y planear mis excursiones.. No hay q soñar solo planear y hacer el sueño realidad..
Thanks for your comment. I am sure you will enjoy your visit just as much as I did. I also have a video up on Skagway if you are thinking of including there in your trip. ua-cam.com/video/pufg61t6MEE/v-deo.html
Oh, Tracey Arm is well worth a visit. It's a day trip. One day I will go back to my rough cut of that and get something to put up on You Tube. At present it's just too long in my opinion.
Well done, kind sir. Your videography and post-production skills are very good. Thank you for uploading and sharing this most beautiful U.S. treasure with us. ~Fran
Thank you so much Fran for your kind words. I am glad that you enjoyed this video. You may find my video on Skagway of interest as well. ua-cam.com/video/pufg61t6MEE/v-deo.html

+aussieboi82 Hi, Thanks for your comments. I am sure you will enjoy your visit to Juneau. Nearby is Skagway and you may like to watch my video on that as well. ua-cam.com/video/pufg61t6MEE/v-deo.html Also the White Pass Railway ua-cam.com/video/YsmUJ9TKu-I/v-deo.html as for accent, you are almost correct. I am a kiwi living in Auckland NZ. Cheers
ERICKS Thank you for your comment. I am sure you will enjoy your visit to Juneau. You may consider traveling on to Skagway for a short visit. That is another step back into the past. I would love to be visiting both places again but my next travels are taking me to the Shetland Islands, Scandinavia and parts of Central Asia. For Skagway see: ua-cam.com/video/pufg61t6MEE/v-deo.html
I have been to Alaska twice but not Juneau so I think I will be making a third trip in fact I'm going to put the European travel pamphlets I have into the recycling bin.
Sorry but I cannot answer that. It's a few years since I was there and although I was not aware of any homelessness then, times change. I didn't feel unsafe at night though.
Yeah, a bunch of drunks roaming around downtown. Currently the high and mighty city council are trying to run them from downtown to make the place pretty for tourists. They want the premium property the Glory Hole is located in, but we are like screw you lol Juneau used to be safe walking around at night, too many lowlife moving in from lower 48.
@@chellh43 Hi there. Interesting comment from you and you have obviously not enjoyed your time in Juneau. It is several years now since I made this video and things may well have changed. I spent a week there and stayed in an old hotel right in the centre of town. Except for a bus ride to the glacier and cable up the mountain, I walked everywhere else. Of course I didn't see everywhere but cetainly did get around. I never had any worries day or night Certainly no memory of the sort of things you describe. I found Juneau to be interesting in summer even if full of tourists from the numerious cruise noats arriving each day. I came and went on the government ferry service so did have to get quite a few miles out to the working harbour area. Hope things work out for you.
I love how everyone just films downtown and out the road, never the ugly truth of the Valley XD Run down trailer parks, trash on all the streets and in the woods, nasty dump problem (the Eagles love calling that smelly place home), high rate of crime and suicide, outrageous cost of housing, the homeless population being shoved aside because they want downtown to look pretty for the tourists, drugs and alcohol are easy access to teens, absolutely disgusting weather. Most of the shops downtown and tourist companies are run by lowlifes that live in the lower 48, and like a parasite, reap Juneau's economy. Hardly anyone who visits here actually gets to see the real Juneau, just blinded by tourist traps. I'm sick of being stuck here and I don't have the funds to get out. It's hard to find anyone who was born here anymore. Long time, multi-generation families are moving away from Juneau as outsiders (including a bunch of criminals from other states looking to escape) come in droves to wreck this once beautiful area of Alaska. I used to be able to walk alone in the middle of the night without fear of anything happening and that's gone. I hate it. Watching a drug deal go down at the children's park across the street from my home while there are children playing. At another park, someone stabbed over an ipod. You like to turn your head away from all of that dont you? My great great grandfather was the one of the co-founders of Juneau and my family has been here for countless generations before the city was founded. It's sad to see how much this place has gone to sh*t. Don't come here, just let Juneau die in peace.
The scenery is beautiful
grew up here as a child, miss everyone.
Nick.

Nice informative video thank you. Gives me an inkling of what to expect when I get there.Hazel.
Beautifully done:)
Great video. I'm going to Juneau the second week of May and needed a refresher course on the sites. :-)

Beautiful video! I'd really love to visit Alaska also called Al Yeska which means "The Great Land."
Juneau maravilloso, me muero por visitarlo, pero si no me toca la lotería creo que jamas pasara, precioso reportage

A low key but comprehensive view of Juneau and its immediate surroundings. Well done.
Thanks for your comment. Much appreciated.
An excellent postcard, now looking forward even more to visiting in September.

thank you I will.
I felt sorry for that bald eagle
How's the plague corona virus up there?
I have been to Alaska twice but not Juneau so I think I will be making a third trip in fact I'm going to put the European travel pamphlets I have into the recycling bin.
Always have to take those pamphlets with a 'grain of salt'. They are out to sell you something.
Very good video! I have a better idea of what it's really like, instead of reading a glorified Traveler's book. Thanks!
Thanks for your comment. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Are there any homeless people in Juneau? I live in Fairbanks and it’s ridiculous, I want to feel safe walking at night
Sorry but I cannot answer that. It's a few years since I was there and although I was not aware of any homelessness then, times change. I didn't feel unsafe at night though.
