Mount Roberts Tramway
Tour code: JUN3041.
Duration: 1? Hour.
Less Walking, Moderate Walking.
This unforgettable adventure begins at the Seven Seas Mariner dock in downtown Juneau. There, you'll board a tramcar adorned in colorful Tlingit artwork for an exhilarating ride through the Southeast Alaska rainforest and up to the 1,800-foot level of Mount Roberts. Experience one of the most expansive and beautiful views offered in all Alaska; from the Chilkat Mountains to the north, down the Gastineau Channel to the lands and waterways of the south, west to Douglas Island, and east into the Silver Bow Basin, where gold was discovered near the head of Gold Creek in 1880.
Once at the top, you'll enjoy the amenities of our multi-million dollar mountain complex. The Mountain House (Shaa Hit) is nestled among towering Sitka Spruce trees on the edge of the grasses and wildflowers of the sub-alpine. The complex houses the Chilkat Theater, Raven Eagle Gifts and Timberline Bar and Grill (with optional outside dining). It also offers access to The Nature Center, an eagle exhibit and the extensive Mount Roberts trail system. Visitors are introduced to the Tlingit culture through the award winning film Seeing Daylight, shown every half hour in the Chilkat Theater. There are also frequent theater performances by a local Tlingit actor sharing the story of his clan's origin. Native artists are often featured in the complex working on wood, fossilized ivory or silver carvings, making dolls, sewing garments, beading, or creating large totem poles out of cedar logs.
Please note: Tickets allow unlimited rides throughout the day, and include viewing of the award-winning Tlingit film Seeing Daylight. Tramcars depart approximately every six minutes. Tour duration is approximately 1 hour, or at your leisure.
