Elevate your visit to Icy Strait Point with a ride on the Sky Peak Gondola (the red gondola). Walk onto the gondola car and gently glide through the forest as the high-speed, eight-passenger car whisks you to new heights. Ascend to the top of Hoonah Mountain to see the wilds of Alaska from a bird's-eye perspective.
Looking out at Glacier Bay, the ancestral homeland of the Tlingit people, and Icy Strait Point, you will see why — at 1,500 feet in elevation — this location is known for its breathtaking views.
At the mountaintop, board an open-air wheeled tram for a six-mile round-trip journey through old-growth forest. Sitka spruce, western hemlock, and wildflowers line the road on your way past a mountain lake. Your guides will describe the ecological and cultural significance of the forest's unique plants and animals and how the island's Tlingit people are bound to its rich landscape.
Bring your camera to capture pictures from spectacular viewpoints overlooking Spasski Valley, the snow-capped mountains surrounding Port Frederick, and the city of Hoonah.
Notes:
Take the complimentary Transporter Gondola (the green gondola) to access the base of the Sky Peak Gondola (the red gondola). Your ticket allows unlimited rides on the Sky Peak Gondola throughout your time in port.
