  • In today’s vlog we’re exploring the Southeast Alaska town of Sitka. Beautiful weather and even more gorgeous scenery greeted us in this picturesque seaside town. With islands dotting the coast, mountains rising above, and a ton of history, it’s easy to see why this quickly became my new favorite town in Alaska!
    Things we saw in Sitka:
    Castle Hill
    Sitka National Historical Park
    Downtown Shopping. So many great stores, but I LOVED The Cellar.
    Drove up Harbor Mountain Road
    Whale Park
    Pizza at the Campfire Pizza Kitchen located in Harbor Mountain Brewing Co.
    Now, Sherri and I need to plan a trip to Sitka together!

    Absolutely LOVE Sitka! I wasn’t able to sightsee much during my time there for work but it was so beautiful and magical, very Lord of the Rings. I cannot wait to go back sometime for a getaway.

    I fell in love with Sitka on my first Alaska trip! Absolutely beautiful and the kindest shop owners! We saw around 25 whales on our first 3 hour water excursion! I’ve been back many times since.

      Unfortunately there was only one brief moment in the beginning, rest is not filmed in Sitka.

    Also one of my top three Alaska favorites with Seward and icy straight point. No way to choose a number one.

    • @evabalga6133
      @evabalga6133 Před měsícem

      My favorite is Icy Strait Point/Hoonah, but I agree that Sitka is close second.

    If you like Sitka you probably would like Cordova. You can take the ferry from Whittier or Valdez. Or there’s a flight from Anchorage.

    Just found your channel and had to subscribe! We visited Sitka in 2022 and loved our time there - it really is a beautiful place - and we are going back in 2025. I loved that you show a variety of things - from the history, nature and shopping. The tips on what roads you drove for the views was so helpful! I will be watching more from your previous videos, and look forward to where you go next!

    My husband and I loved strolling through Sitka when our cruise ship stopped there. We also went through the museum you showed. We took a private whale and wildlife tour by boat with a local. Going through and around those islands. Only 4 people on board. Priceless experience.

    @LadyDee150 Před 10 měsíci

    Thank you so much for this! I had a chance to visit this beautiful town earlier this year when we docked there on a cruise, but my husband was ill on that day so we had to stay onboard. Now I was able to see some of what we missed thanks to you🌹

    I made my 1st trip to Alaska with my mom it was on her bucket list. Our ports were Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway n British Columbia we went in may. It was amazing. Your videos are so informative makes me want to go back. Safe travels home

  • @kirstenbennett7958
    @kirstenbennett7958 Před 10 měsíci

    Beautiful! The family and I want to do an Alaskan cruise so much, but watching your videos also makes me want to fly to Alaska and drive around and stay a bit. I fear that stopping one day at each port on a cruise is just not enough time to see all the amazing and beautiful sights!

    • @staceylp39
      @staceylp39 Před 10 měsíci

    I want to go! My mom used to make homemade Russian tea, and it had Tang in it and cinnamon and cloves and lots of spices. It is delicious warm! It looks mesmerizing by the water.

    Ok so when I watched the movie The Proposal which is supposedly set in Sitka I thought wow that is so beautiful and I started thinking that I would love to visit. Well life happened and my health has deteriorated... But I am so glad that I found you guys and thank you for sharing your Alaska and Sitka so I can live vicariously through the vlogs 🤗💕

    I never new so many people cherish and gawek at what I have everyday 𓆩☺️𓆪 If you had really wanted to see some views of Sitka you should've went up harbor mountain, up there you can see all of Sitka and the surrounding Islands and inlets.

    • @FLPeach00
      @FLPeach00 Před 4 měsíci

      I’ll be in Sitka in September and will definitely check out Harbor Mountain! Thank you for the suggestion 😊

    Russian tea is the best, in my opinion! Used to make homemade batches when I was a kid! So easy, so good!

    You mentioned The inheritance games in the last podcast..I’ve completed the first 3 books in 3 days lol I can’t put em down. Who knew a 35 year old man would be so enthralled with teen angst 😂 appreciate the suggestion!

    We're going on an Alaskan inside straight cruise with a long stop at Sitka. I didn't know anything about the town so I did some research and found your vlog and booked a day-long tour. Even convinced our friends to join us. So excited! And where did you get those earrings? They're so beautiful and I'd love to buy them to take home as a reminder of Sitka.

    this place also has probably the most mild weather in the state. Of course you can't avoid that winter entirely but it is a matter of scale lol
