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

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.
