Sitka
Sitka, located on Baranof Island in Alaska's Inside Passage, lies at the heart of the vast Tongass National Forest — the largest temperate rainforest in the world. This spectacular wilderness covers most of Southeast Alaska and offers the chance to see eagles, bears, spawning salmon, and sweeping vistas that define the untamed beauty of wild Alaska.The town itself has a distinctive character, shaped by both Tlingit culture and Russian heritage. Surrounded by island-studded waters, jagged mountain peaks, and the presence of a towering volcano, Sitka combines dramatic scenery with a fascinating cultural story that makes it one of Alaska's most unique ports.
