Places to Visit in Juneau, Alaska ↠ Eagle Beach.

Eagle Beach has become our favorite place to let Atka run wild here in Juneau. It's gorgeous out there and the face she gets when she's running free at a ridiculous pace makes me so very happy. We have a good sized yard, but no fence so it's nice to let her really run it out every now and then.

Plus, it always amazes me how quiet it is out there. It can be a bit of a drive compared to most places in Juneau, but I think it's worth it and really it's not that far. We're just spoiled here.

There are also cabins at Eagle Beach that look nice and places to camp out there in the summer, if we were visiting Juneau for more than a day (aka not on the cruise ships), I'd be looking into staying out here or somewhere else up North. Peaceful with amazing views, all I need for a great vacation. Ok, maybe a few beers or tropical drinks, depending on the trip. ;)

On one of our first trips up here we saw a bear, but that was in the summer and a bunch of campers were grilling salmon...newbies. Although it's always good to keep an eye out and a camera ready! Even if you don't get to photograph a bear, you'll still get some pretty pictures...

Incredible right? I am lovingggg the Fall colors here! They're just as breathtaking as I remember. Although Eagle Beach was also gorgeous in the Spring, since it had all of the pretty wild iris'. I hope you all are enjoying the changing Fall colors as well!

Places to Eat in Juneau, Alaska ↠ Red Dog Saloon.

If you want a place that's pure Alaska, and completely packed to the brim during the summer, you have to make a stop at Red Dog Saloon in Juneau. It's an easy place for most visitors to get to, since it's just a short walk away from the cruise ships downtown.

There are huge halibut hanging from the ceiling, bears climbing up the poles, and pretty much any other animal hanging on the walls. It's fun to see just how big these creatures can get...without the fear of being attacked. They also have live music on the weekends, Dave got up and played while my Dad and brother were in town.

The second time Dave and I went, the first time my Dad came to visit, was after cruise ship season (this time last year). We had the place to ourselves and you'd never know how crazy it gets in the summer. My Dad got to experience Red Dog Saloon in full force during his second trip, the last picture above.

I highly recommend the Ninilchik Wrap, with beer battered Alaskan salmon. Delicious. And of course, you have to wash it down with your favorite Alaskan beer on tap, I rotate between the summer and winter...depending on the season.
