Departed Juneau with Doctor onboard with his bags making rounds in Petersburg.  Rainy departure out of Juneau, close call with a mountain top, disappearing into th clouds as the aircraft neared it.  Executed an immediate reversal of course to avoid collision and regain bearings while continuing to climb out.  Low visibility approach into Peterburg.  Very tough landing!
