  1. 1

    At Sitka National Historical Park, you’ll step into Alaska’s rich past while surrounded by towering totem poles, lush temperate rainforest, and a stunning coastal backdrop. Stroll the scenic totem-lined trails, where intricately carved poles tell the stories of the Tlingit people, their traditions, and their resilience. Wander through the majestic Tongass National Forest, the largest temperate rainforest in the world, where moss-draped trees, babbling streams, and fresh ocean air create a peaceful, awe-inspiring escape into nature. As you cross Indian River, keep an eye out for salmon swimming upstream to spawn in late summer and fall—a powerful sight showcasing Alaska’s wild beauty. At the visitor center, explore exhibits on Tlingit craftsmanship, Russian-American history, and the 1804 Battle of Sitka. Whether you're drawn to history, wildlife, or breathtaking scenery, this park is a must-visit gem!(30 min)

  2. 2

    At Fortress of the Bear, you’ll come face-to-face (safely!) with rescued Alaskan brown and black bears in a stunning natural setting. Unlike a zoo, this wildlife rescue and education center provides a spacious, naturalized habitat where the bears can roam, play, and interact much as they would in the wild. From elevated viewing platforms, you’ll get unobstructed, photographer-friendly views of these incredible animals while knowledgeable staff share their rescue stories, behaviors, and conservation efforts. This is more than just a viewing experience—it’s a chance to connect with Alaska’s wildlife and learn how Fortress of the Bear is giving these orphaned bears a second chance at life. A must-see for animal lovers and nature enthusiasts alike!(30 min)

  3. 3

    At the Alaska Raptor Center, you’ll get an up-close look at some of Alaska’s most majestic birds of prey, including bald eagles, owls, and hawks. This renowned wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center provides a rare opportunity to see these powerful birds and learn about the incredible work being done to rehabilitate and release injured raptors back into the wild. Stroll through the Raptor Woodland, where eagles and other birds live in a lush forest setting, and step into the flight training aviary, where recovering raptors regain their strength before being released. Along the way, knowledgeable staff and volunteers share fascinating insights into each bird’s story, natural behaviors, and conservation efforts. Whether you're a bird lover, a photography enthusiast, or just curious about Alaska’s wildlife, the Alaska Raptor Center offers a truly inspiring and educational experience you won’t forget!(30 min)
