Nugget Falls Walk

About this bundle

Step off your cruise ship and into the best things to do in Juneau, Alaska with this self-guided audio tour and offline GPS walking tour of the Mendenhall Valley. Ditch the crowded bus tours and rigid schedules for an immersive app experience that plays right on your personal smartphone. Created by a born-and-raised Southeast Alaskan, this is not a physical ticket or a live guided excursion, but a hands-free journey that triggers stories automatically as you walk. The easy, two-mile trail out to Nugget Falls lets you keep your phone in your pocket and the glacier in your face, exploring a rapidly changing landscape entirely at your own pace. You will hear Mendenhall told the way it actually happened, discovering history the big excursions completely miss. Stand before a lake that did not exist in living memory at The Grand Retreat, and learn why the water looks like mixed concrete at the Rock Flour and Power of Water stops. The narration introduces you to Romeo the Wolf, Arctic terns making The Longest Journey, and the fascinating stories behind The Blue Ice and The Tlingit Bear. Built for the zero-cell-service reality of the Last Frontier, this app works flawlessly offline without racking up roaming charges. Hyper-local maps cut the clutter, pointing you directly to parking and restrooms exactly when you need them. Because your money stays in the local economy and you own the pass forever, you can download today, skip the tourist traps, and explore the ice on your exact schedule.
