Juneau is the capital of Alaska and the second largest city in the state. Located on the Gastineau Channel, it is the only state capital in the United States accessible only by boat or plane. Juneau is located near the Alaska-Canada border and is surrounded by the Tongass National Forest, the largest temperate rainforest in the world.
Juneau was founded in 1880 when prospectors discovered gold in the area. The city was named after Joe Juneau, one of the prospectors who discovered the gold. The city quickly grew, and by the early 1900s it had become the largest city in Alaska.
Juneau is home to the Alaska State Capitol, the only state capitol in the country surrounded by mountains and water. The city is also home to the University of Alaska Southeast and is a popular tourist destination.
Juneau has a rich history, including the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971, which granted Native Alaskans land and rights to self-governance. The city was also the site of the Alaska Native Brotherhood Hall, which was the first civil rights organization in Alaska.
Juneau is home to many natural attractions, including the Mendenhall Glacier, which is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the state. The city is also home to several museums, including the Alaska State Museum and the Juneau-Douglas City Museum.
Juneau is a vibrant city with a unique culture and history. It is a great place to visit and explore, whether you are interested in outdoor activities, cultural attractions, or just want to take in the beautiful scenery.
