• Sitka National Historic Park/Totem Park - Here in Totem Park we will discover the collection of more than 30 totem poles from across Southeast Alaska. Sitka National Historic Park, or “Totem Park”, is the site of the major battle between Russian and Tlingit forces in 1804. We will wander the paths through the forest, discussing the role this area has in Sitka’s history. Depending on the time of the summer we may see salmon running in the river that passes through the park.
• Indian River - The river is often filled with salmon and trout running upstream to lay their eggs. Many bald eagles spend time at the river. Almost all guests see eagles and other wildlife on the tour.
