City of Juneau – accessible, easy trails
The Juneau area does have a few easy accessible trails, in spite of the vertical nature of its setting. Parks and Recreation’s phone number is 907-459-1070. Here is their website. Alaska.org’s Juneau Hiking Trails has good descriptions of the nearby trails.
Mendenhall River Trail 2 miles, paved. The trail follows the Mendenhall River greenbelt area, starting at Brotherhood Bridge. “In mid-summer, over a flat field of iris and fireweed, the Mendenhall rises between McGinnis Mountain and the Sawtooth Peaks.”
Rainforest Trail 0.5 mile trail leading out to the north end of Douglas Island. There is a small beach there with beautiful views.
