- This is a quick video of our port call in Sitka, Alaska. The City and Borough of Sitka (Tlingit: Sheetʼká, Russian: Ситка), formerly Novo-Arkhangelsk, or New Archangel under Russian rule, is a unified city-borough on Baranof Island and the south half of Chichagof Island. The Russians settled Old Sitka in 1799, calling it Fort Saint Michael.
In terms of land area, it is the largest city-borough in the U.S., with a land area of 2,870.3 square miles (7,434 square kilometres) and a total area (including water area) of 4,811.4 square miles (12,461 square kilometres).
It rained the whole time we were there. We walked to the Sitka National Historic Park. It has a lot of tall totem poles. We saw several Bald Eagles but not much other wildlife.
Thank you for taking us with you.
Our pleasure, as always.
We like your background music
We created that in Garage Band.
I loved growing up in Sitka back in the 1960s 💕
It must've been nice. Thanks for your comments and we hope you subscribe to our channel.

Thanks for the great video! I was stationed at the Coast Guard Air Station there in '95. I lived a block up from the harbor and used to take my Husky along the harbor and in Totem Pole Park all the time. Planning on doing a cruise in Aug of 2022... Thanks again!
A great place to visit. Thanks for your comments and we hope you subscribe to our channel.
I just subscribed from my two channels: Lidia Veronica and this travel one. I really enjoyed how easy it is to follow your tour of Sitka where we'll be in 12 days! Thanks for sharing valuable information! 😀 🍁
Awesome! Thank you! We will be back in September. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.
When you're standing near the science center BEFORE you point out the eagle, you very clearly hear one on your video. There are so many more beautiful things to see in Sitka...miss it every day.
Yes, they were everywhere. Thanks for your comments and we hope you are a subscriber.
Thank you so much for your video and time you took to share and help us with some tips!
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful! Please subscribe to out channel.
When we were in Alaska in may 2018 we had only one day of rain. We were very lucky
We went twice in 2019. In the Southern ports like Ketchican, Sitka and Juneau, it was raining. In the Northern ports like Anchorage, Seward and Valdez, it was sunny. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing.
I enjoyed seeing Sitka from your perspective! We've been once before but did a ship tour, which was good. But this time we want to go on our own and you've provided some great tips of how to do that!
We are going to Sitka in a couple of weeks. Still not sure what we’re going to do. We might try to hike around there at Halibut Bay. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.
Thank you for the video presentation of Sitka, I am impressed with the quality of your video & pictures. I enjoyed your tour and your knowledge is very much spot on, Sitka is my old hometown and it have been a while since I been away from visiting but it reminds me how it was in the old days. I am very much surprised of the rainy weather you are having it's usually very nice in June.
Sitka is one of our favorite ports. We went twice last year. Thank you for your comments and we hope you subscribe to our channel.
Great Video! I live in Sitka Alaska and saw most of the stuff you looked at, hope you enjoy it too!
Sitka is a wonderful place! We went there twice this year. Thank you for your comments. We hope you are a subscriber.
Hey what are the prices like there, specifically how expensive is that fur outfit? We are coming to your town in May and I'd really like to check that shop out
Hi, the bridge is new and they did a lot of work and n the park... it may not look it but they did. I hope you enjoyed sitka Alaska.
We enjoyed it so much we're returning this week on another cruise. Thanks for the info. Please subscribe to our channel.
Looks like snow in the distance
In Alaska there is always snow in the distance.
What month was this filmed? Trying to pack accordingly for rainy weather on our alaskan cruise in June ❤️
We recorded this on June 1, 2019. We were there again on August 17, 2019 (watch the video: th-cam.com/video/lz8u-kpzy5g/w-d-xo.html) and it was not raining, but it was cold. Thanks for your comments and thanks for subscribing to our channel.
It’s not this guy’s. Information is written next to the show case. It would be best to read the information.
OK. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.
Make sure you say what month you were there.
What month was this ?
Sorry I did catch it now . June 1st
June 1. Thanks for your comments and we hope you subscribe to our channel.
Would you go back and if so what month ?
@@jasonboone7472 Yes! We would've to go back. We actually went twice last year. It rained both times. We would like to go in August or September when it's a little warmer and the salmon are running.
ay! not cool bro! lol- just kidding, this is my hometown :)
So cool! Don't forget to subscribe!
Yeah, officially it's the largest city by land area, but it's stupid because I typed Sitka on Google Maps, and it showed me the city boundaries, and more than 95% of it is wilderness. Same with Juneau. IDK why Alaskans incorporate so much wilderness into their city limits.
You didn't visit the Russian Bishop's House? That's only, the most important thing,.
No we didn't. We wanted wilderness. Thanks for subscribing!
