Juneau, Alaska (KINY) - The annual closure of the Steep Creek Trail at Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center began Friday, July 15, 2023. Closing the non-elevated portions of the trail for the summer minimizes bear-human interactions, allows bears access to their natural environment, and enhances the viewing experience for guests on the elevated platforms that remain open.
