Gain a better understanding of Sitka’s Tlingit culture and its past as a Russian capital with this guided hike through the Totem National Historical Park. Stroll through Sitka’s downtown to learn about its imperial Russian history and take in the views of Crescent Bay before entering Totem Park. There, admire dozens of soaring totem poles collected from southeast Alaska and placed on this former battle site.
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.
