Mount Roberts Tramway

Ride an enclosed tramway gondola from the cruise ship dock in downtown Juneau through the rain forest to the 1,800-foot level of Mount Roberts for one of the most expansive views in Southeast Alaska: Chilkat Mountains to the north, Gastineau Channel to the south, west to Douglas Island, and east into Silver Bow Basin, where gold was discovered in 1880. At the upper Mount Roberts Tramway terminal, the beautiful Mountain House (Shaa Hít) recreation and cultural complex sits amid towering Sitka spruce and the grasses and wildflowers of the sub-alpine. The Mountain House includes the Timberline Bar & Grill (with seasonal outside dining) the Chilkat Theater, Raven Eagle Gifts , and access to a Nature Center, Juneau Raptor Center Bald Eagle Display and Mount Roberts Trail System.
