Favorite thing: -Visit the Sheldon Jackson Museum!
-Make a walk in The National historical Park where all the totem pooles stand.
I have seen there 2 seaotters. Maybe they are not there anymore ;-) but it was very nice.
-There is a eagle sanctuary or hospital in Sitka that people can visit. Ask a local for how to get there and where it is.
Have a look in the harbour and smell the dead salmon during this time of the year. Very different for a tourist from Germany ;-)

Fondest memory: It's incredibly beautiful. We're on the Gulf of Alaska surrounded by little islands with a Fuji-esque volcano (Mt. Edgecumbe) across the way. I don't know if the most amazing thing here is the occasional round of northern lights or the spring herring spawn bringing every predator in the eastern GOA, whales, eagles, herons, sea lions, and herring seiners, or just leave it at the continuous beauty. No need for me to post more pictures - go to http://www.ptialaska.net/~timlance/photos.htm for a collection.

Fondest memory: Russian history is old in this part of Southeast Alaska. This would have to be one of the oldest buildings in Alaska then, yet it isn’t really that old.

Sitka ~ Tlingit, Russian & American Melting Pot
On our second visit to Sitka in July, 2006, I was able to see more of Sitka than I did on our first visit there. Some of this was due to the fact that we came ashore in Sitka where it was easy to see...

I've seen much of Alaska over the years and I would rate Sitka as the most beautiful of all. Located on Baranof Island in Southeast Alaska it has a sense of history that isn't as obvious in other...
