You might need the Epley Maneuver after taking the Lemon Creek Departure in Juneau. This video shows what it looks like from the left hand side of the plane. The right hand side gives you a start because the Lemon Creek Departure requires the pilot to cut power so as not to crash into Mount Juneau, while making a right hand bank over the muskeg and the airport. If you're on the right hand side, you're looking down at the ground and that's all you can see, and it ain't that far.

They tell me that every pilot who tries the Lemon Creek Departure on the simulator crashes before he learns how to do it.

Here's a good landing that shows you the muskeg.
