What it's like

Mount Roberts, also called Roberts Peak, rises just east of downtown Juneau, the capital of Alaska. Its trail begins behind the town on Basin Road and climbs through boreal forest on switchbacks to the Mountain House at tree line.

A visit can be a climb on foot or a short ride up. The Goldbelt tram carries riders from the downtown docks to the top, and from the Mountain House the trails continue to the summit, where the views reach over the harbor and Douglas Island.

Good to know

The summit route is difficult in places, and snowfields can remain even in summer.
Downtown is compact and walkable, but the area above 4th Street is very hilly.

A place to visit:
