Man, I wish I had mountains in MY backyard...

Juneau. What a super town. And if you like mountains, um, there's lots here! The prominant peak in the foreground is Mt. Juneau. Downtown Juneau is obviously at the foot of Mt. Juneau. The ridge running out to the right in the photo is Mt. Roberts/Gastineau Peak. Skyline in the back are the various Juneau Icefield peaks and ranges (Mendenhall towers and Rihno Peak being the most obvious features). I love my town! The town in the foreground, on the same side of the channel as the peak the the pic was taken from, is Downtown Douglas. And just think, it only takes a little over 2 hours to get to where this photo was taken from. All this and no traffic, smog, gang violence or freeways! What more could you want?
