Hiking in Alaska is a wilderness experience like no other, offering unparalleled opportunities to see some of the United States' most rugged and undeveloped natural terrain and spectacular natural wonders. More than 250 miles of hiking trails are easily accessible via the city of Juneau alone, providing chances for hikers to get up close and personal with the state's majestic mountain, forest, and meadow landscapes and historic mining ruins from its gold rush era. Though the state is known for its rugged wilderness routes and extreme hiking experiences, many trails also offer easy access for visitors of all ages and ability levels, including wheelchair-accessible and stroller-accessible walks. Downtown Juneau-area trails include the three-mile Perseverance Trail, which showcases the ruins of the 1885 Perseverance Mine, and the Mount Roberts Trail, which provides a chance to hike to a spectacular summit.
