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.
