点评:The first day of our two-week self-guided trip to Alaska last August took us to Mendenhall Glacier and Nugget Falls. It was a wonderful way to experience close-up glacier views just a short distance from downtown Juneau.
We took the Capital Transit Bus #8 Downtown/Valley Express from the Downtown Transit Center. This service is available daily during the summer for $2.00 each way. After an approximately 30-minute ride, we got off at Dredge Lake Road and enjoyed a leisurely 1.5 mile, 50-minute walk along a paved, forest-lined path to the Visitor Center.
The Mendenhall Glacier is visible from a distance along the road, and the trail paths from the Visitor Center to the Glacier and Nugget Falls are well-maintained and shaded. We arrived before the midday crowds, which allowed us to enjoy the views and take photos before the tour buses and vans began to arrive.
Mendenhall Glacier is the most accessible glacier via public transit bus or other commercial operator buses. Visiting Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau was such a highlight on our first day in the Capital City, and I truly hope you have an amazing time experiencing those incredible glacier views yourself. For those traveling on their own schedule, using Juneau’s public transportation is an excellent way to see the city and its landmarks.

我们从市中心交通枢纽乘坐首都交通局8路公交车(市中心/山谷快线)。这条线路夏季每日运营,单程票价2美元。大约30分钟的车程后,我们在德雷奇湖路下车,沿着一条绿树成荫的铺砌小径悠闲地步行1.5英里(约2.4公里),大约50分钟,到达游客中心。
从公路远处就能看到门登霍尔冰川,从游客中心到冰川和纳格特瀑布的步道维护良好,绿树成荫。我们赶在中午人潮涌来之前到达,因此得以在旅游巴士和面包车到来之前尽情欣赏美景并拍照留念。
门登霍尔冰川是乘坐公共交通巴士或其他商业巴士前往最便捷的冰川。在朱诺的第一天,参观门登霍尔冰川是我们此行的一大亮点,我衷心希望您也能亲身感受那令人叹为观止的冰川美景。对于自由行的游客来说,乘坐朱诺的公共交通工具是游览这座城市及其地标的绝佳方式。
