Additional Information:

Juneau is a beautiful place to live with a full view of mountain ranges. The activities that are unique to Juneau are ice-
climbing on the Mendenhall Glacier, hiking through a rain forest, viewing the Northern Lights, panning for gold and so
much more.
It is very rainy and at times there is extreme daylight and at other times, extreme darkness. But if you can remain positive
and adapt to the environment you will appreciate Juneau’s beautiful summers and snowy winters.
There is a ski resort in Juneau where you can spend your winter days and there are numerous lakes and waterways where
you can fish for champion size salmon or halibut.
People in Juneau are friendly. The lifestyle is laid back with out all the commotion and hectic confusion that you
find in large cities. Although, it is not so slow that you will find yourself bored and longing for excitement. Juneau
is unlike any other place and has a character all its own. To live here is to appreciate the simple things in life. If
you do not own a vehicle, Juneau has a local bus service which may be used for commuting.
