Activity itinerary

Russian Bishop's House

Here the hike will discuss the imperial history of this land: your guide will discuss the Russian history of Sitka, as well as the Russian Orthodox Church, and the impact of Russian colonisation on the Alaskan national forest.

Crescent Harbor

  • 5m
The first stop on the tour is in front of picturesque Crescent Harbour. The guide will explain the daily workings of a fishing town in Alaska from the personal perspective of a commercial and charter fisherman.

Sitka

  • 5m
We will see and discuss the Tlingit Totem Pole on Sitka's Seawalk. Before we reach the trailhead, the hike parallels the high street Lincoln St.

Tongass National Forest

  • 1h 30m
Your guide will bring you into the Tongass National Forest. Your small group will spend 90 minutes hiking. The base trail is gravel and fairly flat. There is an option to follow the boardwalk into the muskeg (swamplands), or a more rigorous route that climbs up into the mountains.

Sitka (Pass by)

Depending on your group's desires we can end the tour either at the cruise shuttle pick-up site OR at the main gathering of local food trucks.
