Mendenhall Campground
Saturday, Feb. 14th to Sunday, Feb. 22
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 existing 2 mile cross country ski trail in the Mendenhall Campground with nine informative signs about the Sun and planets in our solar system.
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.
