One of Southeast Alaska's most popular tourist attractions, this tram whisks you from the cruise terminal 1,800 feet up the side of Mt. Roberts. After the six-minute ride, you can take in a film on the history and legends of the Tlingits, visit the nature center, go for an alpine walk on hiking trails (including the 5-mi round-trip hike to Mt. Roberts' 3,819-foot summit), purchase native crafts, or chow down while enjoying mountain views. A local company leads guided wilderness hikes from the summit, and the bar serves locally brewed beers.
