On a crisp Saturday morning a few weeks back, I went on an exciting adventure up to a place many Juneauites see but to which few travel. I climbed Mt. McGinnis which is located at the far end of our valley and to the west side of the Mendenhall Glacier. From the end of the West Glacier Trail, where one picks up the Mt. McGinnis trail, there is are amazing views of the glacier and the valley where I live.
