Mendenhall Glacier

One of the ports we stopped at was Juneau. This picture is taken from the visitors center at the glacier. You can drive to within a mile or so of the glacier. It was the first glacier that we saw and we were very impressed. There really is blue in the glacier but you can't tell from this picture unless you click on the picture to enlarge it. Off to the right and not visible in the picture is a waterfall. We asked the ranger how far it was to walk to the falls and he said about a mile and a half round trip. So off we went to the waterfalls. He did say there were a few rocks you had to climb over right before you got to the falls.
