Sitka Town Center - Neighborhoods - Alaska Vacation - My family went on a cruise in southeastern Alaska at the end of August. It was more beautiful there than I had imagined! We did all sorts of fun things -- from fly fishing for salmon to kayaking in Sitka to flying over the Alaska Range and Mt. McKinley to admiring a 74 pound cabbage at the state fair. Our trip to Alaska was a true adventure!

Neighborhoods

Sitka was a Russian fur trading post before it was an American town, and the Russian influence in local architecture and culture can still be seen.
