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 Eat in Juneau, Alaska ↠ Sandpiper Cafe.

For some reason I had it in my head that Sandpiper Cafe, here in Juneau, was a greasy breakfast joint that you save for the morning after you've had too much to drink or just feel like really indulging. This was not the case at all! We made a trip there during the week my Dad and brother were in town and LOVED their cute little cafe. I already know what I'll order next time Dave and I go there for brunch...

Everyone got something different and we all loved our choices. I had the breakfast burrito and it was everything I hoped for, and more. Update: we went back several times and I highly recommend the Vegan Pecan Pancakes (not super sweet or too indulgent for breakfast), Quiche (look at the pretty fruit that comes with it!), and the Salmon Omelette. 

What's the best breakfast spot in your town? Let me know in the comments! Going out for brunch is our favorite and we're always traveling, so I'd love your suggestions.
