Sedate, trim and picturesque, backed by the tall peak of Mt Juneau, this colorful and modern capital city of Alaska is nestled on beautiful Gastineau Channel of the Inside Passage. A thriving little city of over 5,000 people, Juneau owes its origin to gold. Today it ably holds the responsibility of the Territorial government on its shoulders.... Here is located the residence of the Governor and the seat of all legislative departments. Alaska Steamship Company
