Sightseeing
The Treadwell Historic Trail stretches from Savikko Park through much of the Treadwell complex. It's a nice trail - relatively flat, wide and shady. The ruins of Treadwell are visible everywhere. Metal lies in the undergrowth, the fragments of walls and foundations rise between trees, the tower of the salt water pumping plant rises out in the channel.
The area is used by dog walkers, tourists, the high school cross country team, cross-country skiers and any Juneauite who enjoys a nice walk, but the history of the mining complex is almost as obscure as its ruins.

Aside from being one of the most scenic and well-used trails in Juneau, Alaska, the Perseverance Trail is one of the three most historically significant trails in our entire state along with the Chilkoot and Iditarod Trails. The original route, used by natives for goat hunting, fishing and berry picking, was later to become the first road in Alaska after Joe Juneau and Richard Harris found gold in the Silverbow Basin in the 1880's.

This is a wheelchair-accessible trail that follows the Mendenhall River greenbelt area, starting at Brotherhood Bridge off Glacier Hwy. The name is Tlingit for "going back clearwater trail." Expect a lot of traffic. The trail is 2-miles long, paved, and provides one of the great views of Mendenhall Glacier, beginning at the Brotherhood Bridge trailhead. In mid-summer, over a flat field of iris and fireweed, the Mendenhall rises between McGinnis Mountain and the Sawtooth Peaks. The trail is great for hiking, biking, or jogging and in winter the cross country skiing is excellent.

(Not something you can checkout inside.) Just a short, mostly uphill, walk from downtown sits this estate that was built in 1913 for $40,000 and now houses Alaska Governor Bill Walker. Along with a totem pole outside, the 26-room building has eight fireplaces to keep the wet, cold winter at bay. There aren’t tours of the mansion, but local bus tours made it a destination during Sarah Palin’s time in office—particularly, of course, when she was the Vice Presidential nominee

There are plenty of places to go on hikes, jogs/runs or walks out North Douglas. Flase Outer Point is my favorite trail that loops around so you don't have to walk back to your vehilce on the same path you had already walked. The lower the tide the nicer the walk. One loop is about 1.1 miles.
