Mt. Roberts trail head signs
I cannot remember the last time I hiked Mt. Roberts Trail: 10 to 15 years ago? I done see some new improvements during the entire hike beginning right at the trail head. In the “olden days” there weren’t the modern conveniences of a metal stairwell up the first part of the trail head of Mt. Roberts, let alone signs telling you where you are, what to do and how to behave! Gawd! Like have we advanced or what!? These amenities musta been the result of the City and Borough of Juneau accommodating to the few walking tourists…I have to say that walking up the metal steps at the trail head is sure a lot easier than the steep, and often times slippery and muddy path that once was. Aren’t you glad we have tourists? !^P
Log Walkway
A covered rest area!
The covered rest area has a view!
This view has overgrown indeed – time to cut the entire forest down so we can see what we’re looking at from the rest area, doggone it!
Another log walkway
For you "cheechako's", remember that Devil's Club berries are poisonous!
What's up man, like holy cow! - To how many walkways do I subject you guys!?
It's just not true that once you've seen one root and log walkway, you've seen 'em all!
Getting closer to the tramway, there are still lots of blueberries ripe for the pickin'
