点评:The Goldbelt Tram travels up Mount Roberts, which is a 3,819 foot mountain near downtown Juneau, located near the cruise ship docks. The Goldbelt Tram can carry 60 people from sea level to 1,800 feet up the mountain in 6-minutes. It gets its name from the mines in the mountain which opened in 1917, and closed during WWII. Almost 3 million ounces of gold and other precious minerals were taken from it.
We rode the Tram up Mount Roberts in the mist. That was probably not the best choice as the mist turned to fog and then light rain. We decided to walk the ½ mile Alpine Loop Trail anyway to try to see more of the Gastineau Channel, but we never got above the lowered cloud ceiling before the rain increased and the trail got slippery and muddy. We decided to turn back, as we weren’t dressed for those conditions. The fog mostly obscured the view from the trail outlooks. We did see some examples of the Sitka Spruce and some totem poles along the way.
There is a restaurant at the tram’s docking point on the mountain and we enjoyed a hot lunch there before descending. During the descent, the fog lifted a little and we had nice views of Gastineau Channel.
The Tram runs from mid-April to mid-October, depending on the weather.

我们在雾中乘坐缆车登上罗伯茨山。这可能不是最好的选择,因为雾变成了浓雾,然后下起了小雨。我们决定无论如何都要走半英里的阿尔卑斯山环路,试着多看看加斯蒂诺海峡,但我们从未越过低云层,因为雨越下越大,小路变得湿滑泥泞。我们决定折返,因为我们没有穿适合那种情况的衣服。雾遮住了小路观景台的大部分视野。我们确实看到了一些锡特卡云杉和一些图腾柱。
山上的缆车停靠点有一家餐厅,我们在下山前在那里享用了一顿热午餐。下山途中,雾气散去,我们欣赏到了加斯蒂诺海峡的美景。
缆车从四月中旬运行到十月中旬,视天气情况而定。
