Perseverance Trail Juneau

[EatPrayCruise]

thanks so much!

 

Have a great time!

A warning however. It is a steep climb to the trailhead and I would estimate it's at least a 1/2 hour walk. (I always drive!) You'll be pretty tired by the time you get there, and then the first 1/2 hour of Perseverance Trail is steep as well!

 

You'll pass the flume trailhead before getting to Perseverance Trail. There's a bridge crossing Gold Creek. Right before that, to the left, is a short trail leading over the creek and the flume trail starts there. You'll see it across the gulch the as you walk up Basin Road towards the trail.

 

It's flat the whole way and very lovely. You can make a very nice circle tour of Juneau by going on Basin Road, along the flume trail, then down the street it deadends on. You can roam past the old city cemetary, peek in at Cope Park and go up past the Governor's Mansion before returning to the dock area.

 

That's not as much forest scenery as Persererance Trail, but you get a bit of everything, for scenery to history to some great views.

 

 

Sorry for resurrecting an older thread but I was curious if anybody (locals) knows if it's possible to go fishing at Gold Creek around where Basin Rd ends and the Perseverance Trail starts, or where the turn off for the Last Chance Mine is. I just stumbled across this trail after doing some research per a cruise I'll be on in mid-July and was looking for something to do that was within walking distance. I'd likely bring my own fishing rod and gear but was just curious if anyone has seen people fishing this area and if it's allowed (I would think it is as long as I have a license).

if a local doesn't respond call a Juneau tackle shop and ask them for advice.
