Mount Roberts Tram

We landed in Juneau at noon and the sun was shining so we got started on our vacation. We headed to downtown Juneau and took the tram up to the top of Mount Roberts. There was still snow on the ground, something we don't see to often in Novato, so the kids were happy to walk through it, but we weren't able to do the hike to the top. Instead we went to take a look at the eagle that lives up there. She was previously injured and rescued and now lives in captivity. Then we headed over to the visitors center where Mackenzie and Paige got a lesson on the local flora, fauna & wildlife of the area. They even pulled out a telescope and showed the girls an eagles nest located down near the road.
Afterwards we headed back down to Juneau and stopped on the pier to get a look at the Disney cruise ship. Then we headed to Auke Bay to check out a local eatery called the Hot Bite.
