Exploring Sitka, ALASKA.
Four weeks in Alaska began with a few days in Sitka before exploring the Inside Passage. So we put on the hiking boots and hiked up Gavin Hill and Harbour Mountain which overlooks Sitka Sound.
Starting in town we take the hard way up a long series of stairs and switchbacks. Eventually it opens to amazing views and wildflowers. This trail was originally built during World War II to provide access for military installations.

Walking in Sitka, Alaska - What to Do on Your Day in Port
This is a quick video of our port call in Sitka, Alaska. The City and Borough of Sitka (Tlingit: Sheetʼká, Russian: Ситка), formerly Novo-Arkhangelsk, or New Archangel under Russian rule, is a unified city-borough on Baranof Island and the south half of Chichagof Island. The Russians settled Old Sitka in 1799, calling it Fort Saint Michael.
In terms of land area, it is the largest city-borough in the U.S., with a land area of 2,870.3 square miles (7,434 square kilometres) and a total area (including water area) of 4,811.4 square miles (12,461 square kilometres).
It rained the whole time we were there. We walked to the Sitka National Historic Park. It has a lot of tall totem poles. We saw several Bald Eagles but not much other wildlife.
