Mendenhall Glacier
Just a little bit outside of Juneau is the beautiful Mendenhall Glacier. We have been to Juneau before but have never visited this glacier. Last time we went whale watching, because this is a great place to do that. But, this time we wanted to try something different. And since most of the Glaciers are receding, we took a visit here.
What you first see when you arrive at the Glacier
The scenery is beautiful around it.
Can you see the little water falls on the right and the lake in front
Put the telephoto on so you can see how blue the ice is!
You can walk to Nugget falls if you had more time than we did there.
The yarrow was blooming
Fungi in the forest
Chunks of ice in the lake in front.
A little creek there had more salmon spawning.
Fireweed was blooming too!
I was back to work today. It was a busy afternoon and I am bushed. Heading to bed so I can have a repeat performance tomorrow.
