If you're visiting Juneau, the hike to Mendenhall Glacier and Nugget Falls is an absolute must. The…read moreviews are breathtaking from start to finish, and seeing the glacier up close with Nugget Falls cascading beside it is something you won't forget. Money-saving tip: Skip the expensive excursions and take the Juneau Capital Transit bus from downtown to Dredge Lake Rd., which is the closest bus stop to Mendenhall. From there, it's about a 1.7-mile walk to the Visitor Center, followed by an easy 1.5-mile hike to Nugget Falls. The trail is well maintained and suitable for most people. The bus costs just $2 each way. Be sure to bring exact change or download the Token Transit app from the App Store to pay your fare. The bus system was easy to navigate, and we had no trouble figuring it out. In my opinion, this is one of the best values in Juneau. You get the same incredible glacier views and unforgettable experience that many people pay hundreds of dollars for on organized excursions. If you're comfortable walking a few miles, this is absolutely the way to do it!

Visitor center has an elevator to the 2nd floor that provides insight, views, and toilets. If in Juneau via a cruise ship you can access the park via both shore excursions and tour operators. No real complications on May 5, on that clear dry day, though 5 cruise ships were in port making the park entrance busy with both tourists and transports. It was a nice way to see a glacier, but the initial park area was crowded, so do not expect to escape from the bustle of tourists unless you explore deeper into the park.

I understand expecting customers to be respectful of merchandise, but accidents happen--especially in a tourist gift shop that welcomes families and children. I've traveled extensively and have never been treated this way over a low-cost souvenir item. What stood out wasn't the money, but the pettiness and complete lack of customer service. A business that values its customers would have handled the situation with a little grace and understanding. Instead, they chose to make us feel unwelcome and embarrassed over a piece of plastic worth very little. There are plenty of souvenir shops that appreciate their customers. I'd recommend spending your money elsewhere.

It had a blue wood on the left side and caribou in the middle and another colored wood on the right. I told her I would take it. Miraculously when I told her I was needing 2, she just happen to find another one. I should have known then something was fishy. So I bought both of them. $710. When we got home from our trip 2 weeks later I opened the boxes she wrapped them in and found she did not give me the original Ulu I had picked out but gave me another one that just had a caribou handle. Don't shop here! First she lies to me, then she switched out the knife I picked out with another one. I will calling the chamber of commerce in Juneau.

I first came across these unique pins at Elliott Bay Books, in Seattle, and immediately fell in love with their quirky designs. Sure, they have the usual flowers and birds for your grandma... but they also have body parts and organs, syringes and beakers, deck chairs and masted tallships, skeletons and whiskey bottles! The pins are intricately patterned and made by hand. You really have to see them up close to appreciate the detail, but these aren't shoddy made-in-China tie tacks. The high-quality craftsmanship is obvious, and I get tons of compliments on mine. Most of the designs also come as zipper pulls if you're not a pin person. Their website is no-frills, but easy to browse and purchase from, and each item has a funny description - you can tell they are serious about their work but have a sense of humor. And the pins are amazingly affordable - most are about $12 and I didn't see anything over $20! You'd pay just as much for some mass-produced trash at a chain store. Shipping is a flat $3 per order and it's FAST. I even got a follow-up email from the company thanking me for my purchase! Even if you're not headed to Alaska anytime soon, if you like fun, unique jewelry with a slightly dark sense of humor, check out William Spear's awesome stuff.
