Mount Juneau

[2] In 1976, it was proposed by Chuck Keen of Alaska Trams (later to become Mount Juneau Enterprises) that a jigback aerial tramway be built to the top of the mountain.

[4] During winter, Mount Juneau is one of the preeminent avalanche threats to a major population center.

The trail features an assortment of alpine views as well although it traverses many steep slopes and caution is prudent in wet or snowy weather.

[6] In March 1962 an avalanche slid down the south side of Mount Juneau.

Locals on the other hand were not fully convinced on moving, so the local government decided to mitigate further damages by banning the construction of add-ons in avalanche zones and by buying lots that could go to building homes in avalanche zones.
