Kids Playing Around a Totem Hiking Trail
Explore Sitka National Historical Park to trace the town’s early beginnings and native heritage. See indigenous artefacts, watch a documentary film and walk the mile-long Totem Trail. Then view creative pieces by local Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian artists at the Sitka Cultural Centre.
Saint Peters Cathedral Russian Influence, Sitka, Alaska
Learn about Sitka’s Russian influence on a walk to St Michael’s Cathedral, one of the few remaining Russian Orthodox churches in Alaska. Check out the Russian Bishop’s House and watch New Archangel Dancers perform traditional choreography. Then stand atop Castle Hill, where the first American flag flew over Alaska in 1867.
Get up close to native eagles, owls, falcons and hawks at the Alaska Raptor Centre’s rehab hospital. Meet the vets who nurse injured birds back to health and view the flight-training centre – a rainforest environment where recovered animals relearn survival skills before being released back into the wild.
The local Pacific Northwest 'frontier cuisine' is packed with fresh seafood offerings like sockeye lox and halibut fish and chips. Here you’ll find Dungeness crab harvested by local families and food trucks serving black cod collars. And don’t miss Baranof Island Brewing Company – the Silver Bay IPA and Halibut Point Hefeweizen are two solid sipping options.
City centre galleries are your best bet for Northwest Coast native art and jewellery made by Inupiat Eskimos. Russian nesting dolls, woven Tlingit baskets and wild berry products also make authentic Alaskan souvenirs. Pop into the WinterSong Soap Company for herbal bath products made on-site.
