Description
Discover the rich culture of the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian peoples on a guided tour in Juneau. Ride the Goldbelt Tram to the mountaintop and enjoy a meal at the Timberline Grill.
Begin your cultural science experience at sea level and rise above the clouds. Along the downtown dockside, see six towering totem poles representing the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian peoples. Learn how these poles are more than art; they are knowledge systems—stories, values, and ecological wisdom carved into cedar.
Explore how nature influences culture, how science is organized knowledge, and how Alaska Native culture is organized wisdom. Meet the legacy of Elizabeth Peratrovich, a civil rights hero whose story reminds us that place shapes people, and people shape history.
From the waterfront, ride the Goldbelt Tram to the mountaintop, where breathtaking views, cultural exhibits, and trails lined with carvings deepen the journey. Connect science and story, land and identity—and see Southeast Alaska not just as scenery, but as a teacher.
Enjoy a meal at the Timberline Grill atop the mountain, with a meal token valued at up to $30, redeemable for any single menu item of your choice.
