With a dirt road paving a quick route to the top of Ptarmigan Chair, this hike makes for a good trainer! Great for those who hike alone, want to get in shape, build skills, endurance and confidence. Once you get to the summit, the island is yours! Explore both the north foot trails and southern routes to different peaks with stunning 360 views. This is my go-to hike as I can get to the top quicker than most mountain peaks in the Juneau area.
Steep climbs, plank boards, meadows, trees, alpines, wildflowers and the most magical scene at the summit you'll come across! Mountain top ponds make for dreamy dips, muskeg meadows peppered with wildflowers, you'll wish you had brought a tent to stay!
Once you're out of the trees, you're exposed to sunshine views of Downtown Juneau. The best is cresting the top to get a great look of the full length of Gastineau Channel. A abandoned tramway building still stands at the top. And, if you can swing it, is one leg to the Mount Juneau Ridge and Granite Creek Loop trail which will take 10-12hrs and is mostly unmarked. You'll enjoy wildflowers and mountain goats.
A late summer sunsetter! Due to its elevation it can sometimes take a bit longer for the snow to melt all the way off. My favorite thing to do is to take the Mount Robert's Tram up, then begin the hike! This can save 45-60minutes of zig zag tree hiking and lend you more time for boogying up to Gold's Peak and onto Robert's.
A leisurely long stroll out to a gorgeous beach where you're always outnumbered by birds than people. Creamy sand, level, and serene make this a top location.
