Photo Description:<br />
The Greatest Tourist Destination, Juneau, Alaska. This is the view I get to see many days<br />
waking up at 7:00 AM for early morning calculus and school afterwards. This frigid beauty is<br />
why I love it here so much.<br />

About Location: JUNEAU, ALASKA<br />
Before Juneau was Juneau, it was Rockwell. Before that, it was Harrisburg. And even before<br />
that, it was a settlement for several tribes of native Indians.<br />
Gold mining met its demise during wartime, when it was deemed a non-essential activity, but<br />
Juneau's tourism industry was fast becoming a growing portion of its livelihood. In everincreasing<br />
numbers since the early 1900s, Juneau's attractions and adventures have attracted<br />
travelers and cruise ship passengers, particularly in the summer months.<br />
Today, Juneau is a thriving city offering a great blend of city amenities and small-town<br />
hospitality, all in the heart of Alaska's majestic mountains, rivers, glaciers, and forests.<br />
Nearly 31,000 people call Juneau home - many of them working in government, tourism,<br />
mining, and fishing, and all of them instilled with a deep love for this place. Such a mix of<br />
personalities makes Juneau unique.<br />
