From foreground to background: The State Office Building in downtown Juneau at the right of center, then Mt. Roberts.. with part of Mt. Maria at the far left, Mt. Juneau on the left further back, shoulder north of Snowslide Gulch on Mt. Roberts on the right, and then the Gold Creek Canyon with the wall of the Mt. Juneau Ridge. Snow was being blown that day as far as Gastineau Channel and Douglas Island from the mainland valleys and mountains. It was a clear to partly cloudy day with a high of 24.7 degrees F. and a low of 6.7 degrees F.

WEST JUNEAU WEEKLY PICTURE

Snowslide Gulch and the Northern End of Gold Ridge of Mt. Roberts

This picture was taken from the Mt. Juneau Trail looking southeast across the Gold Creek canyon with the northern end of Gold Ridge of Mt. Roberts at the skyline and the gulches below it that are part of Snowslide Gulch. The primary Snowslide Gulch path slopes diagonally upward from Gold Creek (out of sight at the lower right) and becomes vertical at the upper left of the shoulder of Mt. Roberts. The foot of Snowslide Gulch is 1.2 miles to the ENE of the State Capitol in downtown Juneau and lies at the eastern end of Last Chance Basin. Joe Juneau, Richard Harris, and the Tlingit Chief Kowee climbed Snowslide Gulch October 3, 1880 and crossed over into what Harris named Silver Bow Basin where they discovered gold. The rest they say is history with the founding of the townsite of Juneau.

I compiled this panorama from pictures my Dad took on a hike with my Mom on July 23, 2005. The pictures are from the Granite Creek Trail.
