What to do and see in Sitka, Alaska (AK): The Best Things to do for Honeymoon
The city of Sitka, located on Baranof Island along the Alaska Panhandle, was once the capital of Russian America. Nearby Sitka National Historical Park was established to commemorate the Battle of Sitka in 1804, the last major conflict between Europeans and the native Alaskans. The park now helps preserve the culture of the Tlingit people, as well as the Russian and American settlers, with collections of rare artifacts, the preserved remains of the Tlingit fort and a Russian Bishop's House.

I spent a month in Sitka and found so much beauty, yet the place I returned to almost every day was this pristine historical forest. It is a rain forest, a forest beside the sea, a forest along a river, a forest with amazing totem poles planted around a curve, a forest with eagles flying over the tree tops, a forest memorial of a battle site between the natives and the Russians, asking for peace and brotherhood. Whether you have several hours or only 15 minutes this may be the most sacred place you have been.

A rescue centre for ‘nuisance’ and orphaned bears. It is housed in an old water treatment plant which provides perfect large and well equipped compounds. One contained two sisters who were orphaned when their mother was shot raiding a farmers chicken pen. They were playing and romping in the pool like cubs should. There were guides on hand to explain how the bears are looked after and to answer any questions. The hope is to either release or if not suitable, find a zoo to take them. The value entrance fee is well worth it to protect and preserve these wonderful animals. Buy something in the gift shop and it all helps with the costs!
