Mount Roberts Trail

The hike up Mt Roberts is a little steep and there’s a tram just at the end of the pier. It’s a $ 16 each way ticket. Worth it for the view and saving your energy for hiking.
At the top is a restaurant, gift shop, and theater. If you don’t go prepared you can buy water and snacks there, but like other spots can be a bit pricey. Make sure you have water with you if hiking. The theater shows a great 30 minute award winning movie on the area Tlinget people. I highly suggest taking the time to watch it. Great info and cinematography.
Grab a map and head outside. Right out the door is Lady Baltimore– a bald eagle than was injured years ago and unable to hunt for herself, so she resides at the park. Trail signs are easy to find and well marked. I believe there were six different trails to explore with ranges from a half miles to five miles And you can combine some trails. At the top of the Brown trail you’ll have a fantastic view of Juneau and the narrows. The landscape goes on for snow capped miles and the thousands of trees seem endless. Come down the backside and catch an entirely different vista. A valley with thin waterfalls that plunge thousands of feet into a meadow with deer, bear and marmots. So be prepared to come upon the wildlife. Early morning or damp days the trail can be slick and muddy. There are some man made stairs and gravel areas to help you out on the trail. I also recommend layers. At the pier it was nice– on the trail when we started it was incredibly windy and chilly.
There’s a well marked three mile trail to take you off the mountain and land you in the city of Juneau. But if you’re all hiked out the tram will return you to the pier.
Beautiful wilderness area and trails.
