djjs Posted May 31, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Hi, Can anyone recommend a lunch place near Mendenhall Glacier? Prefer within walking distance. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted May 31, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 31, 2014 From my recollection, nothing. You might want to eat in Juneau prior to heading out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okie1946 Posted May 31, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Mendenhall is outside of town - about a 15 minute drive - and there is nothing close where you can eat. Would suggest waiting until after you return to town before trying to find somewhere to stop. Sorry Okie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyeddiedog Posted May 31, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Am I imagining it, or are you told you can't take food with you on the trails around the glacier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huskyguy Posted May 31, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Am I imagining it, or are you told you can't take food with you on the trails around the glacier? Food attracts bears. I don't think that it's an official ban, just a posted recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slider728 Posted May 31, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 31, 2014 The closest place to eat is at the Mendenhall Mall area, which is about 3 or 4 miles from the glacier. If you have a car, it is a quick drive. If you want to take the city bus, it is about a mile to the nearest bus stop plus time to wait for the bus, then you have to figure out how to get back from the city from there. Walking...it is a long walk :) As someone else mentioned, food is discouraged in the vicinity of the glacier. I'd also recommend getting something to eat downtown near the ship.
