Juneau, Alaska
Today we toured the Last Chance Gold Mine Museum before hiking about 8
miles on the Perseverance Trail.
This trail follows Gold Creek, which is where the first gold was
discovered by Joe Juneau and Richard Harris.
Their discovery of gold began the Juneau gold rush and the development
of the city.
The Perseverance Trail is a beautiful trail. It climbs the mountain
side to the bottom of the snow capped
mountain tops traversing steep rock cliffs, roaring waterfalls, clear
water streams and virgin rain forest.
The pictures do not reveal the trail's raw beauty and the roaring
sounds of the streams and waterfalls.
