Nugget Falls Trail 

The waterfall highlight of our Alaskan cruise through the so-called Inside Passage was by far Nugget Falls, also known as Nugget Creek Falls  

We estimated that Nugget Falls was about 100 feet or so tall. 

As part of the East Glacier Loop, the distance to the Nugget Falls was a very short and flat 1.5 miles roundtrip. 

We traveled along a broad dirt trail that crossed a few small streams because Mendenhall Lake was practically beneath the trail’s level. 

there was an upper section of this trail that could be connected to the lower beach trail  

We were able to see some other glaciers from an observation deck close to the visitor center
