Nature trail.
aav.jpg
Another "just to prove we were really there" photo. The mountain in the background is Mt. Juneau, I believe. We were up on the nature trail above the Mt. Roberts tramway.
abe.jpg
Nature trail.
abb.jpg
Yet more strange and beautiful flowers on the trail.
abd.jpg
Nature trail.
aaw.jpg
We went up the nature trail about as far as the lowest snow field. We would have gone higher but it was a warm day and we didn't have any water with us.
abf.jpg
Really wacky tree on the trail, probably another product of the poor soil. The trees had to adapt to survive.
aay.jpg
Gastineau Channel, the bridge, and distant mountains from still higher on the Mt. Roberts nature trail.
aaz.jpg
The trail we were climbing...still not quite there yet!
aax.jpg
We stopped to take a breather before climbing up to the snow field (that's me taking in the gorgeous view).
aap.jpg
Just in case you wondered.
aat.jpg
View down the mountain from Mt. Roberts.
aal.jpg
More Tlingit art.
aam.jpg
This depicts the Eagle and the Raven, the two major moieties (clans) of the Tlingit people. Everyone belongs to one or the other, and they can't marry within their own clans -- Eagles have to marry Ravens and vice versa. It's matrilineal, so you belong to whichever one your mother is.

Ketchikan may have the most totem poles, but Juneau has some too. Apparently when the Christians came, they thought the natives worshiped the poles and tried to have them destroyed, but in reality they were a way of passing on histories in a culture that had no written language.
