We did a hike up the mountain and around the lake that is right next to the ship's port and it was great! The terrain is quite steep in the beginning of the hike but in and around the lake is relatively flat and fun to hike around! and best of all, it was free!!
We took an excursion that included the Mendenhall glacier, hatchery, and salmon bake. They were all great but at the hatchery there were very few to no salmon there at the time (May) because it was not salmon spawning season yet.
Beautiful city but we didn't feel like we had enough time to explore before the sun set. The ship arrives at 7:30pm and leaves at 11:30pm but the sun sets around 9:30pm. Nevertheless we walked around the boardwalk by the water towards downtown. Everything was beautiful!
