Always favoring real experience over trinkets made in Taiwan and crowds of tourists, our *free*, self-propelled port excursion took us up and out of Juneau, walking through winding steep residential streets affording wonderful views of Gastineau Channel, until finally, we left all that behind and climbed Perseverance Trail, past Mt. Juneau, past Mt. Roberts and closer to British Columbia.

Juneau's Perseverance Trail, a National Recreation Trail
Caveat discipulus!
In spite of rough terrain (boulders in the trail), very steep spots and the like, several intrepid bicyclists passed us along the way. They were friendly and observed proper trail etiquette too!

So, ever thought of exploring the Nacimiento-Fergusson Road in Big Sur? It's a lot closer to home, and a trip there would be more ecologically sound.
