Bikes, Glacier Views, and Microbrews begins with a 20 minute van ride out of historic downtown Juneau out to the Mendenhall Valley, where you'll be outfitted with bikes, helmets, and rain gear if necessary. The ride starts at the eastern side of the Mendenhall Glacier, with a 4 mile ride over to the western shore of Mendenhall Lake. Here, you'll enjoy a brief break and scenic view of the lake. Next, you'll hop back on the bikes and ride 4 miles back to the eastern side of the glacier, riding through two beautiful trails in the Tongass National Forest. After the ride, your guide will walk you to the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center, where you will have 45 minutes of independent exploration. View the glacier, enjoy the trails, and learn about the history of the area. Upon returning to the van, you will take a short drive to Forbidden Peak Brewery and taste a custom flight of local beers and enjoy views of Auke Bay. Your guide will then drive you back downtown at the end of the tour.

Q&A

Q: What should I wear for the bike ride, especially if it rains?

A: Definitely dress in layers! The weather can change quickly in Juneau. Wear moisture-wicking clothing and bring a light jacket. They provide rain gear, but if you have your own lightweight raincoat, that’s good too. And don't forget comfy shoes for biking!

Q: Is this experience suitable for kids? What age range?

A: Yes, it's great for kids! As long as they can ride a bike, they should be fine. Just check if they have smaller bikes available for younger ones. The views are stunning, and kids usually love the brewery experience afterward too!

Q: Can you reschedule if the weather's bad?

A: Yes, you can reschedule if the weather is really bad. Just contact the provider directly, and they’re usually pretty flexible with rescheduling. Just keep an eye on the forecast leading up to your day!

Just did the Bikes, Glacier Views, and Microbrews tour in Juneau!

OMG, what an awesome experience! The bike ride around Mendenhall Glacier was breathtaking. We even saw some seals on the lake! The brewery at the end served the best craft beers. I was surprised how much they included: helmets, rain gear, and snacks. If you’re considering this as a gift, DO IT!

Thinking about gifting the Bikes, Glacier Views, and Microbrews experience!

I’m looking for the perfect gift for my husband’s birthday and this seems perfect! He loves biking and beer. Just curious about how long the whole thing lasts and if it’s worth the price? Any feedback would be great!
