Here there are serious mountain ranges, pristine rivers and lakes, abundant and a certain poignant solitude that is found nowhere else on earth.

"If Juneau were a type of music, we'd say it's part funk, part soul, part bluegrass, and a whole lot of classic rock. Here, you'll find an unexpected mix of fishermen and teachers, legislators and artists, lawyers and homemakers, dockworkers and frontier entrepreneurs, students and Native elders. Somehow we make it all work.

In Juneau, you can watch  in the morning, take in a  in the evening, and toss back a few locally brewed beers at night. We're eclectic that way. And we've got all the activities and attractions you'd expect in a state capital. We just share them without all the pretense. See what we're talking about -- watch our .

Not least of all, Juneau locals are a friendly bunch, if we do say so ourselves. We're a fiercely loyal type, and we love this city enough to want to share it with anyone who visits.
