A restaurant, theater, retail shop, and nature center are located at the top of the tramway, as well as connections to trails leading both up and down the mountain.
Heiser, together with Bruce Booher, Marc Bond, Kevin Branson and Ron Greisen, formed Mount Roberts Development Corporation (MRDC).
Following the preliminary stages, MRDC partnered with Goldbelt, Incorporated,[2] the ANCSA corporation for Alaska Natives in and from Juneau, to finance, construct and operate the venture.
Leitner-Poma of America, the Goldbelt Tram builder, is a subsidiary of Pomagalski, S. A., the world's largest supplier of ropeway transportation systems.
The terminal building features a large main hall, ticket windows, loading platforms with waiting areas, offices, and maintenance facilities for the tram.
The main building includes the Timberline Bar & Grill, the Chilkat Theater showing an informative film of the local Alaska Natives, and Raven Eagle Gifts.
Several hiking trails with varying degrees of difficulty (including wheel-chair accessible paths) have been laid out leading from the summit facilities.
Many of these feature extensive views from the Mount Roberts ridgeline, and some wind through the forest trees and meadows with wild flowers and animals.
