This value-priced excursion offers three experiences in one -- biking, seeing Mendenhall Glacier, and tasting Alaska microbrewery beers. It’s a chance to experience the beauty surrounding Juneau at a slower pace with a friendly, knowledgeable local guide.
On the van ride to the bike departure point, you will hear about Juneau’s history and some interesting information about the city and its surroundings.
Gear up with a bike and helmet, and listen to a safety briefing. You’ll set out from the east side of the Mendenhall Glacier. Bike past a beautiful view of the glacier, over a beaver dam, and across the Mendenhall River bridge.
Continue via the Juneau road system and bike path to the west side of Mendenhall Glacier for a beach stop. On the east side of Mendenhall Glacier, you will ride along a one-mile trail through the rainforest.
Next, travel by van to Merchants Wharf -- an old seaplane hangar in downtown Juneau and a landmark in aviation history. Here, you will taste award-winning beers from microbreweries around Alaska.
