    There is a hiking trail from vancouver all the way up to juneau so you can also walk there. I am currently planning to walk across canada from coast to coast to coast, taking 3 years. Your voyages have inspired me to go where cars cannot go, following trails all the way. My early retirement treat for all my hard work.

    Thank you so much for taking us along. Juneau does look gorgeous. It would be picture-perfect to look out your office windows and see in front of you a huge mountain, with gorgeous evergreen trees, mist in the valleys and an Eagle or two. Beautiful.

    Nicole, congratulations for getting all 50 state capital stamps! You are part of a small elite group now! Not what I was expecting at all, but very appealing. It's always fun to see a house with its yard full of 'stuff'. LOL Even in unlikely places where 'stuff' is hard to come by .That blue house with the pink door is painted like mine! I love bright colors. Thanks for taking us along.

There weren’t any in your video, but we really do have lots. I’m a state government worker and my office is downtown. It’s a great place to be on sunny days by the water. Thanks for the video.

    Worked in Juneau for a year. Alaska Airlines 737’s have special equipment and pilot’s training for instrument approaches in low clouds/visibility because the mountains are so close to the approach from the south. stayed in the Mendenhall Valley (near airport). My favorite restaurant was The Hangar on the Wharf. Too bad you didn’t discover that while you were there-you would have loved it!

    Like everything in the world has...it's changed alot in Juneau since I was there in the mid 1970's. Weird to think I was five years old when Alaska became a State. On the south end of town there were old mine buildings up on the side of the mountain. And yeah, I remember the Red Dog. It was popular and famous even when I was there in the 70's, but their wasn't near the amount of cruise ship tourism then as there is now.

    A few years back I look a Norwegian Cruise ship from Seattle up the Pacific to various stops in Alaska. It is one of the few cruise ships I would consider boarding. The trip was awesome. Last cruise for the season and the weather kept us from docking in Juneau. The farthest north we went was Ketchikan and loved it. They also have totem poles there.
    I got a Ketchikan t-shirt with a huge grizzly bear on the back. Caption above the bear said, "Does not play well with others" 😅

    Juneau is lovely. About 10K of the 32K population lives in the "mountainside/Old Town" area; most of the rest live in Mendenhall Valley north towards the airport. It's flatter and more "suburban", where most of the regular/locals retail is located. One of my top favorite towns as well.

    Nice place to visit. Never live in a tourist town. Everything is for tourists and locals are viewed as a human resource to be exploited.
    Low wages, high rent, not much entertainment except high priced alcohol designed to deprive you of your money. They chew you up, spit you out and in come the next group of suckers chasing adventure. Around and around it goes. Fine if you live there and have money or are an employer I suspect.

    Haven't seen the Red Dog Saloon since 1975, twelve years after I first hitched from Berkeley to Fairbanks. Should you ever go up or down the Alcan, stop at Milepost 530 out of Dawson Creek. Down among the trees off a steep bluff and probably now totally hidden will be (unless it has been removed) a rusted out 1953 Ford that I and two companions, with help of a Canadian's pickup, pushed off the bluff. Those were the days.

    That was a quick series. I guess I was expecting you guys to be haunting all over Alaska. I'd like to know more about the prices. The per capita income, from what I reckon, is that high because every day needs such as groceries are way higher than they are in the lower 48. I had hoped one of those houses would have been for sale so we could check prices.
    No night time scenes either.
    I'm with Nichole on weather as well. I'm a desert dweller and once the temps get to the 70` mark I go into convulsions. Our day time weather today has cooled down to a nice cozy 100`. Perfect.

    I've lived in Texas for the last 11 years now. About 23 in the southwest total, in general. Sometimes the heat is just too much! Juneau looks like the perfect place. Not sure how it would be with 2000 or so cruise ship tourists waking around though. Still I think a cooler climate would suit me better no matter where it is. I liked your Anchorage video, but something about Juneau seems more... affordable, shall we say... But again, Austin TX has it going on! And thats why I choose to stay. Love your channel and always look forward to your uploads. Thanks guys!! May all your travels be safe

    I was stationed at the US Coast Guard District Office in Juneau from 1962 to 1965 before downtown was ruined by cruise ships. Loved the town and the town loved the Coasties. But there was nothing for young & single people to do in the evenings (except patronize the 19 downtown bars) so I took a moonlighting job at the "premier" nightclub/restaurant on Douglas Island called "Mike's Place" and came away from Juneau with enough savings to buy a brand new 1965 MGB Roadster for my new duty station USCG Air Station San Diego..

    You have to work hard during summer and keep as much money as possible! Because winter is nothing to do for jobs but fishing or working in canneries!

    The median salary needs to be high to help you buy food because it’s not cheap there. Some of the more remote towns groceries can be outrageously expensive. I haven’t been to Juneau since 2014 but am going back sometime next year. I love visiting Alaska…. Another great video Joe!!! Did you guys only go to Anchorage and Juneau? If so you definitely need to go back and see other cities or take an extended cruise so you can see some of the other great cities…

    These seems not a handicapp housing area with all the steps you need to take to get to your house and neighborhood. And the streets need improving for both directions. High priced for me.

    My home. Been here almost 30 years, and there's no better place for me. It either clicks for you or it doesn't. The quality of life is really good if you can deal with the climate.

    Looks like a beautiful place. I am not a cold weather person either but Juneau looks nice. I never knew it was a veritable island in that you could only reach it by air or sea.

    I hear you getting exercise on those "hills" ha ha - must be steeper than they look on you tube. For me it would be too cold in the winter!

    The view of dense forest over the narrow streets of Juneau is spectacular! I think living in such tough and severe state as Alaska is obviously challenge and endurance itself, to say nothing about daily work activities which would demand times more energy and commitment when its freezing cold, windy and humidity puts your body and mood under stress which not many people could withstand!

    Juneau is also the only state capitol that borders another country.

    Had a couple of summers in Alaska and always loved it. Juneau is gorgeous, Ketchikan is gorgeous, Skagway is gorgeous....really, it's all grand. There's a ferry service from Bellingham in Washington State up to Alaska, as an alternative sea voyage choice to the cruise ships - something I've yet to try but I'm sure would make for a great experience. If you get back to Juneau stop in at The Hangar for a meal, definitely a favorite stop during my time there.
