Although rain doesn't stop people from doing anything in Juneau, April, May and June are the best months to dodge the drops. The rainiest month is October. Juneau is a unique place which motivates visitors to ask lots of questions. The answer is yes, but it's obvious she lives in a different world. Mendenhall glacier always evokes interesting questions.

Carry insect repellent if you plan to go to forest service cabins, hiking or fishing. Despite the mountains, which give a feeling of high-elevation, Gastineau Channel is a branch of the Pacific Ocean. Juneau is at sea level. No one makes a vacuum cleaner that big.
