A very brief history of Juneau
1
2

The Gastineau Channel region was a traditional fishing ground
for local Tlingit Indians in the late 1800’s when prospectors were
searching for gold deposits in southeast Alaska.
In Sitka, an enterprising mining engineer named George Pilz offered a reward to any local
Indian chief who could lead him to gold-bearing rock. When Chief Kowee of the Auk tribe
arrived with ore samples from Gastineau Channel, Pilz agreed to grubstake prospectors
Richard T. Harris and Joseph Juneau to investigate the lode.
Harris and Juneau reached Gastineau Channel in August 1880 and
sampled the gravels of Gold Creek.

They found plenty of color but failed to follow the gold to its source. At Kowee’s urging,
Pilz sent Harris and Juneau back again. This time they climbed Snow Slide Gulch at the
head of Gold Creek and looked down into the mother lode in Quartz Gulch and Silver
Bow Basin. On October 18, they staked a 160 acre town site on the beach where the
following month they were joined by the first boat loads of prospectors bound for the new
strike on Gastineau Channel.

The surrounding hills were soon honeycombed with tunnels and shafts. On the mainland
side of the channel, the industry was most visible in two great mills, the Alaska-Juneau
at the south end of Juneau and the Alaska-Gastineau at Thane. On Douglas Island, the
ground reverberated with the 960 stamps of the world-renowned Treadwell Gold Mining
Company. Treadwell production peaked in 1915. Two years later, a cave-in flooded three of
the four mines effectively ending the Treadwell era. In Juneau, the Alaska-Gastineau folded
due to high operating costs in 1921. The last of the great mines, the Alaska-Juneau ended
operations in 1944 after producing over $80 million in gold.
By the time the last of the mines closed, Juneau had begun to diversify.
The territorial government was moved from Sitka to Juneau in 1906,
establishing Juneau as Alaska’s capital.
Today, government - federal, state and local - employs four out of every ten Juneau
workers. Tourism is the largest private sector employer and enjoys continued growth.
Commercial fishing and mining are also important components of Juneau’s economy as is
its role as a regional hub for transportation, medical services, education and retail trade.
In 1970 the cities of Juneau and Douglas formed a combined
municipality, the City and Borough of Juneau, that has an overall
population of approximately 32,000.
The University of Alaska Juneau campus is located at Auke Bay with an enrollment of
2,725 full and part-time students.

Geography
Area
A bird’s eye view would allow you to truly appreciate
Juneau’s geography, a narrow strip of land
sandwiched between sea and mountains. The city
sits at sea level, rises to 3,819 feet at Mount Roberts
peak and plunges to 120 feet below sea level in
Gastineau Channel. Juneau is located on the state’s
“Panhandle,” known as Southeast Alaska. Accessible
only by air or sea, it is about 900 air miles northwest
of Seattle and about 600 air miles southeast of
Anchorage.
Juneau has grown along both banks of the Gastineau
Channel on Douglas Island and the mainland, filling
the glacier-carved Lemon Creek and Mendenhall
valleys. More than two thirds of the population lives
in these areas. The largest capital city in the United
States (by land area), Juneau comprises 3,248 square
miles.
Total area of Juneau .............................3,248 sq. miles

Juneau’s main highway extends about 45 miles along the mountainous coastline. Most attractions in town
are easily reached by public transit or private transportation services. The public bus system, called Capital
Transit, is a popular mode of transportation for locals and visitors. Tour buses, taxis and limo services are
also affordable options for accessing the Mendenhall Glacier and other local attractions and sites.

The area around Juneau is a mix of city, state and
Tongass National Forest lands. There are a few
designated campgrounds, best for recreational vehicles
and car-campers, but backpackers also have another
option. Camping is allowed on undeveloped forested
land one quarter mile off roads. Check with the
U.S. Forest Service at 586-8800. Juneau Parks and
Recreation, 585-5226, can also provide information
on off-road camping for a maximum of 48 hours.
CABINS
The U.S. Forest Service has public-use cabins in the
Juneau area. Cabins are outfitted minimally with a
propane stove and bunks and can accommodate six
to sixteen people. They may be reserved for about $35
per night by calling the National Recreation Service
at (877) 444-6777 or by going to its web site at www.
recreation.gov. The State of Alaska maintains publicuse cabins in the Juneau area, each sleeping six to
ten people. The Cowee Meadow, Blue Mussel and
Camping Cove cabins, accessible by foot or small boat,
rent for $45 per night. The Bob Hinman
(St. James Bay) and Rupe Andrews (Shelter Island)
cabins, accessible only by boat or plane, rent for
$35 per night. The Saturday Night, Berry Patch
and Marten cabins at Eagle Beach are accessible by
foot and rent for $45 per night. Call 456-4563 for
information or go to http://dnr.alaska.gov/parks/
cabins/south.htm.
WELCOME TO
BEAR COUNTRY
Juneau is in the heart of rich bear habitat. Its
estuaries, avalanche chutes and salmon streams
provide brown and black bears with high-quality
foods. The black bear is the smallest of the two
bear species in Alaska, with adult males weighing
400 pounds or more. The brown bear is larger,
with a noticeable shoulder hump and longer
claws. A male brown bear can weigh more than
1,000 pounds, females half as much. Intelligent
and fascinating creatures, bears are to be treated
with respect.
When in bear country:
• Be aware of your surroundings, even in town.
• Make noise, sing and clap your hands.
• Remember, feeding bears is illegal. Store food
in bear proof containers away from your
camp site. Never leave trash behind. If you
packed it in, pack it out.
• Never approach or follow a bear. Always leave
it an escape route.
• If you encounter a bear, talk and wave your
arms to let it know you’re a human. A bear
standing on its hind legs isn’t threatening
you. It’s trying to identify you. Stand your
ground. Never try to outrun a bear. Bears may
instinctively chase anything that runs.
For more information about how to behave
around bears, contact the Alaska Department of
Fish & Game at 465-4265.
BIKING
Locals don’t let a little rain dampen their enthusiasm
for biking. Designated bike paths allow riders to
travel safely from downtown to Douglas Island, to
the Mendenhall Glacier and Auke Bay. Biking is
prohibited on Egan Drive. A document outlining
biking routes is available from visitor information
centers located downtown, at the airport and at the
Auke Bay ferry terminal. Bike rentals are available
locally from Cycle Alaska at 321-2453.

HIKING
Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center
With more than 250 miles of trails, many within
minutes of downtown, Juneau is the place to literally
“take a hike.” Trails range from fairly flat, wide and
accessible by wheelchairs and strollers to strenuous
uphill paths for serious hikers. Although weather
can be a factor, the trails around Juneau provide
a window into the rugged rainforests in southeast
Alaska. Some popular local trails include:
Several trails are accessible from the visitor
center. Shorter jaunts include the wheelchair
accessible Steep Creek salmon viewing trail and
the .3 mile Photo Point Trail as well as the
Nugget Falls and 1.5 mile Moraine Ecology
trails. The East Glacier Loop Trail, with an
elevation gain of 400 feet, takes two to three
hours. The West Glacier Trail, 3.4 miles oneway, with a 1,300 foot elevation gain, can be a
five to six hour roundtrip hike.
Perseverance Trail
This route heads off into the valleys that
produced much of Juneau’s gold. In downtown,
take Gold Street to Basin Road. The 3.0 mile
trail, considered easy, begins at the end of
Basin Road. Highlights include mining ruins,
wildflowers and views of Ebner Falls.
Round trip: three to four hours.
