Places to Visit in Juneau, Alaska ↠ Mount Roberts Tramway and Hiking Trail.

If you're wanting to see some of the best views in Juneau, Alaska (and why wouldn't you?), the best way to get them without having to hike for hours or pay hundreds of dollars for a helicopter is to head up on Mount Roberts Tramway. A fun little ride up the tram takes you up to the Nature Center, a rescued bald eagle, Timberline Bar and Grill, and a chance to hike up for even more gorgeous views of the Juneau landscape.

This is something I know I'll do again and again while we live here, it's so gorgeous up there and Dave and I want to eat in the restaurant next trip. I've heard they have pretty good food and the view is obviously a great one.

Of course, seeing Juneau from above is my favorite part, but I also really loved seeing the bald eagle. They are such amazing creatures and I see them fly through our yard almost daily, but seeing one close up was even better. And don't worry, she was hurt when they found her and she's being rehabilitated and has it pretty darn good in that cage. ;)

Places to Visit in Juneau, Alaska ↠ Tracy Arm Fjord and Glacier Cruise.

We did a lot of awesome things while my family visited a few weeks ago, but I think my favorite was the Tracy Arm Fjord and Glacier Cruise. It's a full day of boating out to the fjord and glaciers, but definitely worth a trip if you have the time while you're in Juneau. We saw whales (my first orca!), seals, and tons of sea lions out on the iceburgs.

They take you out to North and South Sawyer Glaciers, inside the Tracy Arm Fjord. It is absolutely magical out there and I'm really hoping I can take another trip out there someday...

...we really lucked out, too. It was a pretty high chance of rain, and it's Juneau, but we had one of the most gorgeous days ever. It still would have been fun, and you have seats inside the boat so you wouldn't be drenched, but I loved getting on the top deck to view the wildlife and gorgeous landscapes.

Make sure to bring a jacket, it gets pretty chilly by the glaciers and if you go to the top deck while the boats going, that wind will get you!
