Glacier Bay National Park
Sitka National Historic Park is Alaska’s oldest federally designated park. Its 113-acres of temperate rainforest are set aside to commemorate the 1804 battle between native Tlingit tribesman and Russian settlers. Ranger-led interpretive walks take visitors to such sites as the Tlingit Fort and the memorial to the Russian midshipmen who died in the battle. The brief yet fascinating history of Russian America is on display on the well-preserved Russian Bishop’s House, one of the last surviving examples of Russian colonial architecture in North America. The Park contains the Indian River, and is both a rainforest and an intertidal zone meaning that there are ample opportunities for wildlife observation.
