Last year the Marie Drake Planetarium completed a new permanent Planet and Bird Walk at Twin Lakes.
This month we have partnered with the Juneau Nordic Ski Club and adorned the easy 2 mile cross country ski trail in the Mendenhall Campground with nine informative signs about the Sun and planets in our solar system. Just keep to the right to complete your solar system tour.
You may walk the planet/ski trail just avoid the ski tracks.
If you bring your dog be sure to clean up poop and take the bags with you.
What is a Planet Walk?
A planet walk scale model of the solar system is designed to fit within a designated distance. It shows the relative distance between the planets.
