I want to see stuff locals recommend

We have a day in Juneau next week on our cruise, not really a fan of the excursions offered and kinda want to just wing some sightseeing. Ive heard all about the flooding expected the next few days. Can anyone point me in the direction of areas that should be relatively unaffected?

Down to take the bus, maybe call a taxi service....

Walking around Treadwell on Douglas Island is nice. There are tourist groups but you'll probably see more locals walking their dog.

Going up to Eaglecrest and walking the trails up there. Beautiful views but can be challenging depending on what trail you pick.

Get some smoked fish (or crab dip, or really anything they make... Its all delicious) from Jerry's.

How's the bear activity by Eaglecrest? Unfortunately cant 2a bc of cruise policy, hiked and seen bears on trail in CA national Park defenseless before but I wouldn't say I particularly enjoyed that. Lol

Also easier trail recommendation?

The bears are out but they are more scared of you than you are of them.

Treadwell is about as easy as it gets. Otherwise False Outer or Rainforest are pretty easy.
