Getting Here:Getting here is easy on Alaska Airlines, and the view from the sky is amazing.
Multiple daily fl ights provide a variety of options, and it’s just a short plane ride from Anchorage or Seattle.
For a more scenic trip, hop aboard the Alaska Marine Highway, a ferry system that treks up Alaska’s beautiful coastline. Vehicles can be transported on
board, and private cabins are available. The more adventurous and budget-minded can choose to sleep in the viewing areas or on deck
under the solarium.
Sitka’s picturesque, mountain-lined shores are part of Alaska’s Inside Passage and a popular stop for both independent
boaters and cruise ships. Cruisers seeking a personal, small ship experience will fi nd it on Alaskan Dream Cruises,
Custom Alaska Cruises, The Boat Company or Un-Cruise Adventures. Visitors who prefer a
more traditional large ship experience can book through Holland America.
Once in Sitka, getting around is easy. Downtown is walkable and the city prides
itself on being a BICYCLE FRIENDLY COMMUNITY. To explore the road
system outside of downtown, visitors can choose from car or
bicycle rentals, taxi cabs, or the RIDE public
bus system.

Sitka, Alaska, Ranks 9th on Smithsonian’sTop 20 Best Small Towns to Visit

O n an island in the Alexander Archipelago with roads that give
up when they meet forests of massive hemlock and spruce, Sitka is cupped in a bay and protected from the cold, forbidding Gulf of Alaska by rocky green islets. It’s this stunning frame that strikes visitors fi rst, inspiring amateurs off Inside Passage cruise ships as well as professional photographers to remove their lens covers.
There are photo ops galore at Sitka National Historical Park, site of the last major battle between Europeans and Native Americans on the Pacifi c Coast. The park’s Totem Trail presents a haunting collection of Native American woodcarving art. “Sitka is the most historic community in Alaska, but for me it’s the thousands of years of occupation by the Tlingit people that add depth of culture,” said Teri Rofkar, a Native American weaving artist and Sitka resident.
The woodcarving comes as a revelation, compelling visitors to see it less as artifact and more as art. The same goes for the miraculous Tlingit spruce root baskets, potlatch hats and Raven
rattles displayed at the Sheldon Jackson Museum on the campus of a small Presbyterian college, where James Michener lived while writing his epic novel Alaska.
The Sitka Historical Society and Museum boasts 25,000 vintage photographs portraying local ceremony and society. It shares waterfront Harrigan Centennial Hall with a performing arts center, headquarters for the Sitka Summer Music Festival and Russian New Archangel Dancers. The celebrated Sheet’ka Kwaan Naa Kahidi native dance company performs in the Tlingit Community House.
No other town in the 49th state has Sitka’s charisma. To wander through its historic downtown is to appreciate how three cultures—Tlingit, Russian and American—were woven together. Built partly on bayfront pilings, the landmark Alaska Native Brotherhood Hall houses the fi rst chapter of an organization founded in 1912 to fi ght discrimination against the state’s fi rst people. The Lutheran Church, built in 1840 for Swedish and Finnish members of the Russian American Company, and
onion-domed St. Michael the Archangel Cathedral, with its nearby Russian Bishop’s House, are reminders of Eastern infl uence.
Above all looms 3,200-foot Mount Edgecumbe, a dormant volcano said to have attracted the Tlingit people to Sitka even before its last eruption around 2200 B.C. It looked about to explode again in 1974 when local prankster Porky Bickar set fi re to 100 spare tires dropped by chopper in the mouth of the volcano—the whimsical side of Sitka’s character.– Article by Susan Spano, originally appeared in Smithsonian April 2013

Sitka is a place where stories of the past come to life, and history is tucked into every corner. The Tlingit settled in the area thousands of years ago, living off of the land and the sea. They established and named the town Sheet’ka, which was later Anglicized to Sitka.
Russians fi rst arrived in 1799 in search of sea otter pelts for the lucrative fur trade. After several fi erce, back-and-forth battles with the Tlingit, the Russians fi nally established a colony in 1804. This fortifi ed settlement was named “New Archangel” and served as the capital of Russian America and the center of their worldwide fur trade. New Archangel became the most populated city on the West Coast, and was nicknamed the ‘Paris of the Pacifi c’ due to its culture of high society.
Castle Hill was the site of the ceremonial transfer of Alaska from Russia to the United States on October 18th 1867, and it still shows the remnants of Russian rule. Sitka commemorates the transfer each year with a week-long Alaska Day Festival that culminates on October 18th with a parade and reenactment
ceremony. Besides being the birthplace of the Alaska Territory, Sitka also served as its capital for nearly 40 years.
Those who desire to immerse themselves in both famous and lesser-known stories of Sitka will be delighted with the Sitka Historical Museum, where the Tlingit, Russian, and American eras spring to life through exhibits and artifacts.
With such a diverse history, it’s no wonder that Sitka boasts 22 sites on the National Register of Historic Places.

Distinct infl uences of Sitka’s indigenous people, Russian colonists, and Finnish settlers create unique local character. Within just a half-mile walk you’ll fi nd a Tlingit community house, rare Russian architecture, and a Lutheran church founded in 1840 by Finnish immigrants which was the fi rst Protestant church on the Pacifi c coast.
Massive totemic panels stand watch outside the Sheet’ka Kwaán Naa Kahídi, a theater built in the style of a community clan house. Inside, the stage backdrop is fashioned from giant cedar panels that are adorned with hand-carved totemic designs and painted in traditional colors. A central fi re pit and tiered seating creates an unforgettable setting for the Naa Kahídi Dancers, who offer stirring performances of ancient songs and dances of the Tlingit people.
Explore the state’s largest collection of Alaska Native artifacts at the Sheldon Jackson Museum where native artisans demonstrate age-old crafts while visitors gaze upon more than 5,000 pieces contained in the collection.
Step back in time with a visit to the Russian Bishop’s House, one of the only remaining examples of Russian log architecture in the Western Hemisphere. Located downtown, the building was completed in 1842 and served as the seat of the Russian Orthodox Diocese which spanned from California to Kamchatka
in the Russian far east. Today, the historic site looks much like it did at its commencement and is adorned with period furniture and Russian icons.
Nearby, the prominent onion-shaped domes of St. Michael’s Cathedral mark the Sitka skyline as they have for nearly two centuries. Those who venture inside the active Russian Orthodox church will discover a remarkable collection of religious art, with pieces believed to date back to the 17th century.
Energetic new life is breathed into Sitka’s Russian history by the New Archangel Dancers. This all-female troupe provides remarkable entertainment through a variety of dance renditions that represent the cultures of Russia and surrounding areas.

For the avid angler looking for a great fi sh story, Sitka is a dream come true. The surrounding waters have the highest saltwater catch rate for King Salmon in the state of Alaska, not to mention world-class halibut fi shing.
Catch that mountable king and trophy halibut with one of Sitka’s many fi shing guide services or combine convenience with the fi shing trip of a lifetime by booking a multi-day package that includes lodging, daily fi shing trips, in-town transportation and food.
For fi shermen who prefer the fi nesse and control of the fl y, inland rivers are ripe with different species of salmon and trout, depending on the season. Join a guide company that specializes in freshwater fi shing, and travel by plane and boat to freshwater sites around Sitka. The secluded, untapped streams make for high quality angling trips.
Put your angling skills to the ultimate test at the annual Sitka Salmon Derby. Local and visiting fi shermen spend the two weekends around Memorial Day competing for tens of thousands of dollars in cash and prizes. Although each salmon holds the promise of a possible prize, the real hope is to land the biggest salmon of the derby and walk away with the prestigious title and all the awards that go with it.

The water and land surrounding Sitka are well known for abundant and diverse wildlife. Whether you dream of having an experience with one of the largest mammals on earth or watching loveable sea otters fl oating with their babies, a wildlife boat tour will bring your dreams within easy reach. Each excursion promises a unique showing of wild neighbors. For whale watching at its peak, come to Sitka in November for Sitka WhaleFest, when our surrounding waters are teeming with humpback whales prior to their winter migration. Besides whales and otters, expect to fi nd seals, sea lions and a variety of sea birds, such as puffi ns, rhinoceros auklets, murres and black oystercatchers.
On the shore, plentiful bald eagles hunt from tall Sitka spruce and hemlocks, brown bears grab salmon from freshwater streams and the aptly named Sitka black-tailed deer forage for food. Join a guided sightseeing tour to seek inland animals, view marine life from the shores, and visit some of our wildlife centers.
A memorable experience with coastal brown bears awaits you at the Fortress of the Bear, a refuge for orphaned brown bears cubs who would otherwise be euthanized. The sanctuary allows visitors to see bears at play in a created environment.
The Sitka Sound Science Center brings sea life to you. See a rearticulated killer whale that washed up on a nearby shore, and get a tactile experience with one of many touch tanks that encourages hands-on interaction with starfi sh, anemones, abalone and
barnacles. The facility also breeds four different types of salmon, serves as a hatchery, and releases smolts into Sitka Sound each May.
Have a close-encounter with majestic bald eagles at the Alaska Raptor Center, a sanctuary that helps to rehabilitate injured raptors and release them back into the wild. Many other birds of prey from around the state can be viewed on site, including great-horned owls, golden eagles and red-tailed hawks.

Beyond the city of Sitka’s tiny footprint sits thousands of square miles of unadulterated, purely wild, untouched country that includes temperate rainforests, freshwater rivers, inland bays, snowcapped mountains and Mt. Edgecumbe, a dormant volcano. For those who seek boundless adventure in the great-out-of-doors, Sitka delivers beyond your wildest dreams.
Motor over the backcountry on a four-wheeler with an ATV tour, explore volcanic caves at the base of Mt. Edgecumbe on an ocean raft adventure, head to the skies to get an aerial view of the Alaskan wilderness on a fl ightseeing excursion, or paddle through the harbor and surrounding islands with a kayak tour or rental, a personalized way to observe sea life. Those who prefer to spend their outdoor time on a golf course will enjoy the amazing views from the Sea Mountain Golf Course while testing their shot strategy with challenging elevation changes and tight fairways.
Active adventurers can lace up and tackle the island’s many hiking trails, or rent a bicycle at the local bike shop and check out dozens of routes around
Sitka – from smooth and easy rides to rugged terrain with steep climbs and descents. Outdoor equipment and fl y fi shing rentals are available for those who want to spend time in the wilderness on their own terms.
The only sounds are those
of nature, punctuated by
the gentle whoosh of your
paddle as it propels your
kayak through the cool
water.
