What You Visit:

Mount Roberts Tramway
This exhilarating tram car ride transports you 1,800 feet above sea level. Once you disembark you'll meet a naturalist guide who will lead you on a mountain hike along a quiet trail as you view the splendor of the panoramic peaks. Learn about the edible and practical uses of the many plants within this temperate hinterland. Be sure to check out the Native exhibits, theater, bar and restaurant in the mountaintop lodge. You may also visit an American bald eagle at the Juneau Raptor Center exhibit and take a stroll along one of the alpine trails.

Photo Opportunity:
The Mount Roberts sky bridge and numerous viewing platforms offer stunning panoramas of the Chilkat Mountains, Douglas Island and downtown Juneau.

Snack:
This fun outing makes a stop at the Alpine Tea House, where you will have the opportunity to sample a variety of genuine made in Alaska products created from the bounty of the rainforest like Alaskan spruce tip jam or a cup of blueberry tea.

What You See Along The Way:
A drive through historic downtown Juneau takes you past the State Capitol Building. Listen to tales of Juneau's past and present as you tour the quaint waterfront en route to Douglas Island.
