We had the good fortune to first visit the Mendenhall Glacier in 2012 and then again in 2017 with my son Ryan's family.
Mendenhall Glacier is a 13+ mile long glacier northeast of Juneau.
It can be reached by bus from the city and features a couple look out points on the near side of Lake Mendenhall.
There is a nice visitor's center here with parking, restrooms, and elevator access to the panorama view level.
A fairly long but easy walk will take you closer to the glacier and next to Nugget Falls.
