Overview

  • See Mendenhall Glacier on your own schedule: four self-guided audio walks — the glacier overlooks, Nugget Falls, the Trail of Time, and the East Glacier Loop — 43 GPS storey stops. One purchase plays from one phone as your group walks together; stories by a born-and-raised Southeast Alaskan trigger automatically, hands-free, fully offline.

    To be clear: this is an app experience on your own phone — no live guide and no paper ticket. Get there by bus, shuttle, or rideshare and explore at your own pace.

    Walk to Nugget Falls and hear the legend of Romeo the wolf. Find the tunnel blasted through solid granite on the East Glacier Loop. Stand where the ice reached in 1937 on the Trail of Time. In salmon season, watch black bears work Steep Creek. No date, no time limit, no expiry.

    Setup takes about 2 minutes — full steps are on your Viator ticket and in your confirmation email (check spam). In the app, your pass appears as “Mendenhall Glacier Explorer Pack.”

Activity itinerary

Mendenhall Glacier

  • 45m
Juneau's most famous sight, a glacier you can walk right up to. As you arrive, a GPS-triggered audio storey plays automatically through your phone, covering the ice's dramatic retreat, the lake it carved, John Muir's 1879 visit, and the rock flour that turns the water that milky blue. Hands-free, at your own pace, fully offline.

Nugget Falls

  • 45m
A short walk leads to Nugget Falls, where water plunges hundreds of feet beside the face of Mendenhall Glacier. GPS-triggered audio plays as you reach the falls, telling the storey of the glacier's retreat, the icebergs on the lake, and the Arctic terns overhead. No guide, no schedule — just press play and walk.

Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Trailhead hub for two of the pack's walks: the Trail of Time (9 stops — stand exactly where the ice reached in 1937) and the East Glacier Loop (16 stops — find the tunnel the Treadwell Mining Company blasted through solid granite).

Steep Creek (Pass by)

A short loop near Mendenhall where, from July to October, black bears fish for salmon and eagles gather overhead. GPS-triggered audio plays as you walk, explaining the salmon run and the food web in motion. Explore at your own pace.
