Juneau
Northernmost state capital
Juneau is the capital of Alaska, situated in the state's southeastern panhandle.
Unlike most American capitals, it's inaccessible by road—reachable only by air or sea.
The city serves as a prior hub during Alaska's gold rush era and remains the seat of state government despite Anchorage being far larger.
