Juneau, the capital city of Alaska, has a population of about 32,000 and hosts 1 million summer visitors a year. Juneau is geographically isolated on the Southeast Alaska panhandle and is accessible only by plane or boat. Located in the heart of the Tongass National Forest, flanked by snow-capped mountains and the Juneau Icefield, the city boasts immediate access to wilderness.
