The sophisticated and vibrant city of JUNEAU is unlike any other state capital in the nation. 
Accessible only by sea or air, it is exceptionally picturesque, hard against the Gastineau Channel , 
with steep, narrow roads clawing up into the rainforested hills behind. Gold features heavily in its history. 

In 1880, two prospectors - one of them Joe Juneau - made Alaska's first gold strike in the rainforest 
along the banks of the Gastineau Channel. Named Gold Creek, the camp grew rapidly. Until the last 
mine was shut down in 1944, this was the world's largest producer of low-grade ore - all the flat land in 
Juneau, stretching from downtown to the airport, is landfill from mine tailings.
