The sun has finally showed its head. We had already made up our mind to go come rain or shine. We were off the explore the Sitka National Historical Park. This is the location of the battle between the Tlingits and the Russians in 1804. For several days they fought with the Tlingits finally retreating to the other side of the island. Eventually they both learned to live together but were never trusting of each other.
We had a lovely young ranger who had only been here a month lead us on the Totem walk. We were the only ones in the party which was very nice. We could ask all our question. This park has lots of maintained trails and was a very pleasant stroll.
After the park we walked about downtown. Hope you enjoy some of the flowers and much as we did. I have also included a video scan of downtown Sitka.
All the pictures are here.
