Need some advice and some suggestions. The wife, 2 daughters (12 & 14) and I will be staying on Douglas Island July 12-20 hiking, fishing and otherwise sightseeing. We plan to do the Mendenhall Glacier trip (ice caves, etc...) and I have 1 shore river fishing trip booked. Still looking for a halibut charter.

If anyone has some suggestions on things you absolutely must do before you leave Juneau, I would like to hear them.

2nd thing is; what equipment are must haves for hiking and being in AK this time of the year. Santa is gonna bring some of this to my children.
