Mount Juneau Trail
Mount Juneau
A steep trail leading straight up from downtown to the summit at 1,090 meters, with panoramic views over the entire Gastineau Channel from the top.
Mount Juneau rises directly behind the city center. The trail branches off the Perseverance Trail, covers about 4 kilometers one way with a climb of about 1,000 meters, and the second half runs up steep grassy slopes, requiring fitness and experience. The summit offers excellent views over the city, Douglas Island, and the distant ice fields. Snow and avalanche risk persist into early summer, and the trail is dangerously slippery in foggy or rainy weather, so it is not recommended to climb it then. The round trip takes about 6 to 8 hours.
