The Blue Bus trip to the Mendenhall Glacier was excellent. Very easy to find the bus, right where the cruise ship shuttle boats docked! This was an economical way to get a tour of Juneau and a ride to the glacier. The busses run about every 1/2 hour so there is virtually no standing around waiting for a bus. We walked around Juneau first, then got on the bus for a more extensive tour and ride to the glacier. At the glacier, we walked-hiked up to the falls and back to the visitor center. This was a fairly easy hike for two adults over age 55 who are not regular hikers.
When we were finished with all the sights and gift-shop shopping, the Blue Bus (at the "Bear" stop) was waiting for us! We boarded and enjoyed the views back to Juneau and more shopping.
Very enjoyable day. The sun was shining and it was in the mid 70s (degrees Fahrenheit). We were told this was unusual weather for Juneau, so we were very fortunate.
