KETCHIKAN

Discover Alaska Native heritage and see world-
famous totems in this postcard-pretty town. Or
stroll Creek Street and browse its shops and
waterfront restaurants. Need more? Go adventuring!
Take a zipline tour above the lush forest, or dive in
for an unusual near-coast snorkeling trip.

JUNEAU HAINES @maalco88

In Alaska’s modern capital, you can take a tram to @rob.male TRACY ARM FJORD
the top of Mount Roberts, museum hop, or view
world-class Alaska Native artwork at the Walter ICY STRAIT POINT
Soboleff Building. Adventures and natural wonders,
like the icy blue Mendenhall Glacier, flightseeing @irisssea
and dogsled tours, are plentiful too.
PETERSBURG

GUSTAVUS

A picturesque place with style all its own, Gustavus
is the gateway to Glacier Bay National Park. Walk
the town to view the beautiful surroundings (and
peek at locals’ gardens). Then explore the antiques
on display at the Petroleum Museum or Bartlett
Cove to stroll the trails.

SITKA

This history-rich town (22 locations on the National
Register of Historic Places!) is an Alaska influence
mash-up. See St. Michael’s Russian Orthodox
Cathedral’s onion dome, the totems at Sitka
National Historic Park, the art at a local gallery —
then stroll a trail lined with Sitka spruce.

© State of Alaska/Mark Kelley

SKAGWAY

Miners seeking Klondike riches launched from

Skagway during the Gold Rush. Shades of 1898

linger here in old-fashioned boardwalks and

frontier-style storefronts. Take the White Pass

& Yukon Route Railroad to explore the gorgeous

landscape — and to see how daunting those

miners’ journeys were.
