  1. Was there July 1–4. We stayed at Eagle Bay Inn. Reccommend it. Close to bus stop. Moderately priced. Do recommend Fortress of Bears and Raptor Center. We did go to National Park but couldn’t stay long. Overall had a wonderful time.

  2. I lived in Sitka Back in 1969 and part of 1970. I worked at the Pulp Mill there. It is a fascinating city

  3. I worked as a travel nurse for years. I am 53 yrs old and met my best friend in the fall of 1986….age 18….our first semester of college. Our birthdays are 3 days apart and we’ve tried to spend all of them together. We spent my 50th birthday in Juneau and Sitka. Please add The Bayview Restaurant….we had “The Best Chowder in Town” for lunch, had chartered a boat to some hot springs, saw a lot of beautiful landscapes, whales, seals, etc, and returned to have the same delicious chowder for supper. It’s, truly, that delicious. Also, the Totem Pole National Park has the most fresh, pure, sweet air you will ever breathe in. I’ve only ever inhaled air like that once before….when I got lost on a Native American reservation in Wisconsin. Both were the sweetest, purest air I’ve ever inhaled. Eat chowder, walk along the harbor, notice plants you’ve never seen, hike in the Totem Pole park…..you’ll encourage any and all to do the same at least once in their lifetime.

    1. These are such amazing tips! Thank you! I think I need to create an itinerary for Sitka so I can include more food (and this chowder!) on it!

    2. Your suggestion sounds wonderful. We are from WI and my senses were perked especially by the “chartering a boat and hot springs”-what other details can you share about the charter company contact name or information?

  4. I have visited Sitka 2x many years ago. I loved it and your blog brought back many memories.. Thank you for posting.

    1. So glad it brought back memories! There is something so truly perfect about Alaska!
