Ketchikan, Alaska-the "Salmon Capital of the World"-is a gateway to the Inside Passage and Misty Fjords National Monument, best seen by cruise or scenic flight. Spot grizzlies, black bears, whales, seals, eagles, and more in the rainforest and rugged inlet landscape. Visit the Heritage Centre for the world's largest collection of Tlingit and Haida totem poles, then explore historic Creek Street, once the city's red-light district, plus Dolly's House and the Married Man Trail.

Are you ready to discover Tracy Arm? Sailling through narrow passages and discovering local wildlife? Get ready for a unique experience with Silversea Cruises.

Juneau offers dramatic wilderness and glacier adventures. Mendenhall Glacier flows from the Juneau Icefield, just 12 miles from downtown, while Taku Glacier cuts deeply into the mountains. The city feels isolated, surrounded by forests and steep peaks, best seen from the Mount Roberts Tramway. Explore by sightseeing flight, kayak, snow-sled, or fishing. Bears, bald eagles, and humpback whales add to the spectacle.

Skagway still captures the excitement of the Gold Rush: Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park and historic downtown preserve the 1890s boomtown spirit. Beyond its history, it offers dramatic scenery-snowy peaks, pine forests, waterfalls, deep gorges, rivers full of salmon, brown bears, bald eagles, whales offshore, and nearby glaciers. Ride the White Pass & Yukon Route for one of the world's great rail journeys, or hike the Chilkoot Trail in the footsteps of gold seekers.

Formed by the retreat of the Guyot, Yahtse, and Tyndall Glaciers, Icy Bay is a young fjord-like bay in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Alaska. Though only about 100 years old in its present form, its icy blue waters, icebergs, and silent scenery feel timeless. Harbor seals, seabirds, marine mammals, and even grizzlies may appear, but August is still chilly at about 11°C/50°F.

Valdez, Alaska, "Little Switzerland," sits on Prince William Sound, ringed by the 5,000-foot Chugach Mountains and glaciers. It is the southern terminus of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and the most northerly ice-free port in the Western Hemisphere. Gold-rush boom in 1897-98, nearly destroyed by the 1964 earthquake, then rebuilt 4 miles away. Today its economy mixes oil, tourism, fishing, seafood processing, and shipping, with hiking, rafting, kayaking, glacier trekking, and winter sports.

In Seward, Alaska, monumental scenery surrounds you: glaciers calve, whales cruise icy waters, and Kenai Fjords National Park rises with fjords, peaks, and the Harding Icefield. Visit Holgate Glacier by kayak or boat for striking blue-white ice and dramatic calving. Nearby Anchorage offers a stark city contrast, and the region also invites you to learn about the culture and heritage of Alaska's First Nation peoples.

Juneau offers dramatic wilderness and glacier adventures. Mendenhall Glacier flows from the Juneau Icefield, just 12 miles from downtown, while Taku Glacier cuts deeply into the mountains. The city feels isolated, surrounded by forests and steep peaks, best seen from the Mount Roberts Tramway. Explore by sightseeing flight, kayak, snow-sled, or fishing. Bears, bald eagles, and humpback whales add to the spectacle.

Wild, raw, and unrestrained, Haines is Alaska at its most intoxicating. In the Inside Passage at the head of Lynn Canal, it blends snowcapped mountains, rainforests, glaciers, and scenic coastline with rich Chilkat Tlingit culture. Wildlife abounds: whales, bald eagles, trout, bears, walruses, and sea lions. Explore by kayak, bike, or hike. Visit Fort Seward for gold rush history, totem poles, and masks, see Chilkat weaving, and taste smoke-cured salmon.

Sitka offers bears, wild landscapes, icy adventures, and rich wildlife in the Inside Passage: eagles, whales, sea lions, and Pacific salmon. See St. Michael's Church, a reminder of Russian rule before the 1867 Alaska purchase, and visit Sitka National Historical Park for Tlingit culture and totem poles marking the 1804 clash with Russians. Mount Edgecumbe rises like Fuji, Kruzof Island offers scenic hikes, and you can also fly, fish for king salmon, or dine on Northwest frontier cuisine.

Metlakatla is the main settlement of the Metlakatla Indian Community on Annette Island in Alaska's Annette Islands Reserve, the state's only remaining reservation. In 2010 it had 1,405 residents. Mostly Tsimshian and largely lineage-based, its name means "Salt Water Passage." In 1886 William Duncan led Tsimshian followers from British Columbia to Alaska; after Annette Island was chosen, the U.S. granted it to them, and they founded New Metlakatla in 1887, later shortened to Metlakatla.
