Rain feeds everything around Juneau, so its six falls rarely run dry. Ebner Falls is the one with a full trail entry, four miles out and back on the Perseverance Trail from downtown, 500 feet of climbing, dogs welcome. The others, Sweetheart, Grindstone, Alaska Chief, Suicide, and Lost Rocker, list without trail data, and some occupy country easier reached by boat, the normal Southeast Alaska arrangement. Check conditions before committing to any of them, since the weather here rewrites plans daily.
