  This is a great hike my kids love to take. It's only about a mile long, well maintained trail. You can get right up next to the falls, and the views of the glacier close up are great as well.

  Panoramic and close up views. Great mile plus hike to falls and Mendenhall glacier. Beautiful outdoor experience.

  It will take 20 minutes walk from the Museum..The path to falls will divide in mid way ,one go via woods and reach falls.On the way you can see the sign board Bears area! .feel the sprinklings of water from the falls.we enjoyed Fall s very much.

  Not a bad trek at all! Very powerful waterfall that makes the walk totally worth it. Near enough to the glacier viewing area so that you can fit both into even a short trip.

  If you're already at the glacier, you might as well walk out (20 minutes?) to the falls so you can see the glacier even closer, and feel an icy spray from the falls! Beautiful, loud and fun!

  Part and parcel of the Mendenhall Glacier visit. Again, quite accessible by bus or group transport from any part of town and a pretty easy walk down to views of the Falls and Glacier.

  We took the bus from the downtown port area to Mendenhall Glacier and Nugget Falls. The hiking trials are very easy and we were able to complete them in a short amount of time. We saw bald eagles and salmon. We did not see any large animals (bear,etc.) but there had been sightings. This site was beautiful. I highly recommend taking the trail to Nugget Falls because that is where I think I took the best pictures. It is an amazing place and really put me in awe. There were even icebergs!

  The Nugget Falls path was easy to traverse, but found a branch-off, which was a little shorter, and afforded a good view of the falls and the glacier. The shorter path turned out to be a good option due to the limited time we were there. A ranger was available near the front of the glacier to answer questions (and take a photo).

  I took a walk out to Nugget Falls in mid November. The tourists were all gone (and the visitor center was closed). The occasional others out there were mostly locals walking their dogs. The weather was good - clear and chilly. I was told by one of the locals that if I had come in the spring either the place I was standing would have been underwater, or the water would be coming over the falls with such force that I would be sopping wet from the spray. While no Niagara or Yellowstone, the falls were still impressive. I spent some time taking photographs, both slow exposures to get the water blur and high speed exposures to capture individual droplets. While it is a 2 mile round trip to the falls, with my side excursions for a better angle I probably covered closer to 3 miles.

  If you have come this far to see the glacier you might as well take the easy trail to Nugget Falls and also get a close up view of the glacier. The hike is easy with great views along the way. when you get to Nugget Falls you can go down onto a sand bar (beach) and get a close up view of the glacier and even get close enough to the falls to get a little mist on you from the falls. It is a great photo opp where you can get the galcier and the falls together in one shot.
