Харриган Центенниал Халл

Ова невероватна турнеја не оставља ништа на столу, покривајући 4 врхунске дестинације Ситке. Наш обилазак почиње у Харриган Центенниал Халл где ћете се укрцати у удобан путнички комби пуне величине. Крећемо на југ Ситкиним путним системом. Успут бисмо могли уочити ћелаве орлове у крошњама дрвећа и јелене Ситка црнорепе како пасу на грмљу. Обрисаћемо Сребрни залив, водено тело окружено високим планинама. У каснијим месецима овде се понекад могу видети грбави и мали китови. Како време и временске прилике дозволе, зауставићемо се овде ради сликања. При крају путног система стижемо до Тврђаве медведа. Ова непрофитна спасилачка установа дом је седам аљашких медведа. Овде ћемо се упознати изблиза и лично (на платформи на којој их гледамо са безбедне удаљености) са наших шест спашених прелепих приобалних мрких медведа Аљаске и три црна медведа - јединих црних медведа на острву Бараноф. Наша следећа станица је Тхе Аласкан Раптор Центер. Овај рехабилитациони центар за птице грабљивице има најсавременију собу за летење и дом за више спашених орлова, сова и других птица грабљивица пронађених на југоисточној Аљасци. Путоваћемо до Националног историјског парка Ситка; ово заштићено подручје умерене кишне шуме протеже се до полуострва и нуди вишеструке, лако доступне петље стаза које оцртавају Индијску реку и воде Источног канала. Тотемски стубови исцртавају ове стазе. Овај парк је такође место битке између клана Схеетка Кван Киксади и руских америчких трупа током 19. века. Наши гости могу да изаберу шетњу кроз парк или посету невероватном културном центру парка, који нуди своје преводиоце на лицу места, као и експонате и демонстрације традиционалних техника као што су резбарење, рад са крзном, перле и обрада метала. За крај ове турнеје наша последња станица биће освежење. Овај паб у локалном власништву и управљању налази се у самом срцу историјског центра града Ситка и нуди разноврсна пива. Уживајте у укусима из целе Аљаске на њиховим славинама које се стално мењају. У зависности од укуса (и старости), доступна су и безалкохолна пића. Уживајте у оба у овој породичној установи.

Аласка Раптор Центер

Израстајући из операције коју воде волонтери у дворишту, Аласка Раптор Центер је постао најистакнутија болница и образовни центар на Аљасци за ћелавог орла, као и једна од главних атракција државе за посетиоце. повређени ћелави орлови и друге птице. Наш циљ је да наше пацијенте вратимо у дивљину; неки су, међутим, повређени тако тешко да нису могли да преживе у дивљини ни након рехабилитације. Ове птице се могу придружити нашој резиденцији Рапторс-а, пружајући узбуђење и образовање за више од 36.000 годишњих посетилаца и за 15.000 ђака до којих дођемо кроз програм Адопт-А-Раптор и презентације у учионицама широм земље. Кампус се граничи са националном шумом Тонгасс, кишном шумом умерене обале и Индијском реком у Ситки на Аљасци и садржи награђивана природна станишта за наших 19 Рапторс-ин-Ресиденце.

Тврђава медведа

Овај центар је отворен 2007. године, а сада има 7 медведа. Више од 20.000 посетилаца годишње дође да доживи величанственост ових невероватних створења. Послали смо медведе у зоолошки врт у Бронксу, сусрет гризлија у Монтани и Међународно уточиште за егзотичне животиње у Бојду у Тексасу. Наш циљ је да сарађујемо са Одељењем за рибу и дивљач Аљаске како бисмо једног дана пустили рехабилитоване медведе назад у дивљину. Као 501(Ц)3 непрофитна организација, Тврђава медведа се ослања искључиво на улазнине и донације за финансирање.

Национални историјски парк Ситка /Тотемски парк

На острву усред високих смрче и кукуте, Национални историјски парк Ситка чува место битке између инвазијских руских трговаца и аутохтоних Кикс.ади Тлингита. Посетиоци парка су задивљени тотемским стубовима Тлингита и Хаиде који стоје дуж живописне приобалне стазе парка, а обновљена руска бискупска кућа говори о мало познатом колонијалном наслеђу Русије у Северној Америци

Harrigan Centennial Hall

This amazing tour leaves nothing on the table, covering 4 of Sitka's top destinations. Our tour begins at the Harrigan Centennial Hall where you'll come aboard a comfortable full-size passenger van. We'll head south on Sitka's road system. Along the way we might spot bald eagles in the treetops and Sitka Black Tail deer grazing on brush. We’ll contour Silver Bay, a body of water surrounded by high mountains. In the later months Humpback and Minke whales can sometimes be seen here. With time and weather permitting we’ll stop here for photos. Near the end of the road system we'll arrive at The Fortress of the Bear. This non-profit rescue facility is home to seven Alaskan bears. Here we'll get up close and personal (on a platform we view them from a safe distance) with our six rescued beautiful Alaskan Coastal Brown Bears and three Black Bears--the only black bears on Baranof Island. Our next stop is The Alaskan Raptor Center. This rehabilitation center for birds of prey has a state of the art flight room and home to multiple rescued Eagles, owls and other birds of prey found in Southeast Alaska. The we'll travel to Sitka National Historical Park; this protected area of temperate rain forest stretches out to a peninsula and offers multiple, easily accessible trail loops that contour Indian river and the Eastern Channel waters. Totem poles punctuate these trails. This park is also the site of a battle between the Sheetka Kwan Kiksadi Clan and Russian American troops, during the 19th century. Our guests can choose to walk through the park or a visit to the park’s amazing cultural center, which offers its own onsite interpreters, as well as exhibits and demonstrations for traditional techniques such as carving, working with fur, beading, and metal working. To cap off this tour our final stop will be for refreshments. This locally owned and operated pub is located right in the heart of historic downtown Sitka and offers a variety of beers. Enjoy flavors from all around Alaska on their ever-changing taps. Depending on taste (and age ), non-alcoholic beverages are also available. Enjoy both in this family friendly establishment.

Alaska Raptor Center

Growing from a backyard, volunteer-run operation, the Alaska Raptor Center has become Alaska's foremost bald eagle hospital and educational center, as well as one of the state's premier visitor attractions.Each year, the Alaska Raptor Center provides medical treatment to 100-200 injured bald eagles and other birds. Our goal is to release our patients back into the wild; some, however, are injured so severely they could not survive in the wild even after rehabilitation. These birds may join our Raptors-in-Residence, providing excitement and education for more than 36,000 annual visitors and for the 15,000 schoolchildren we reach through the Adopt-A-Raptor program and Classroom Presentations around the country.The Alaska Raptor Center's 17-acre campus borders the Tongass National Forest, a temperate coastal rainforest, and the Indian River in Sitka, Alaska, and features award-winning natural habitats for our 19 Raptors-in-Residence.

Fortress of the Bear

This center opened in 2007, and now houses 7 bears. More than 20,000 visitors per year come to experience the majesty of these amazing creatures. We’ve sent bears to the Bronx Zoo, Montana Grizzly Encounter and the International Exotic Animal Sanctuary in Boyd, Texas. Our goal is to work with the Alaska Department of Fish & Game to someday release rehabbed bears back into the wild. As a 501(C)3 not-for-profit organization, The Fortress of the Bears rely solely on admission fees and donations for funding.

We’ll contour Silver Bay, a body of water surrounded by high mountains. In the later months Humpback and Minke whales can sometimes be seen here. With time and weather permitting we’ll stop here for photos. Near the end of the road system we'll arrive at The Fortress of the Bear. This non-profit rescue facility is home to seven Alaskan bears. Here we'll get up close and personal (on a platform we view them from a safe distance) with our six rescued beautiful Alaskan Coastal Brown Bears and three Black Bears--the only black bears on Baranof Island. Our next stop is The Alaskan Raptor Center. This rehabilitation center for birds of prey has a state of the art flight room and home to multiple rescued Eagles, owls and other birds of prey found in Southeast Alaska. The we'll travel to Sitka National Historical Park; this protected area of temperate rain forest stretches out to a peninsula and offers multiple, easily accessible trail loops that contour Indian river and the Eastern Channel waters. Totem poles punctuate these trails. This park is also the site of a battle between the Sheetka Kwan Kiksadi Clan and Russian American troops, during the 19th century. Our guests can choose to walk through the park or a visit to the park’s amazing cultural center, which offers its own onsite interpreters, as well as exhibits and demonstrations for traditional techniques such as carving, working with fur, beading, and metal working. To cap off this tour our final stop will be for refreshments. This locally owned and operated pub is located right in the heart of historic downtown Sitka and offers a variety of beers. Enjoy flavors from all around Alaska on their ever-changing taps. Depending on taste (and age ), non-alcoholic beverages are also available. Enjoy both in this family friendly establishment.

Alaska Raptor Center

Growing from a backyard, volunteer-run operation, the Alaska Raptor Center has become Alaska's foremost bald eagle hospital and educational center, as well as one of the state's premier visitor attractions.Each year, the Alaska Raptor Center provides medical treatment to 100-200 injured bald eagles and other birds. Our goal is to release our patients back into the wild; some, however, are injured so severely they could not survive in the wild even after rehabilitation. These birds may join our Raptors-in-Residence, providing excitement and education for more than 36,000 annual visitors and for the 15,000 schoolchildren we reach through the Adopt-A-Raptor program and Classroom Presentations around the country.The Alaska Raptor Center's 17-acre campus borders the Tongass National Forest, a temperate coastal rainforest, and the Indian River in Sitka, Alaska, and features award-winning natural habitats for our 19 Raptors-in-Residence.

Fortress of the Bear

This center opened in 2007, and now houses 7 bears. More than 20,000 visitors per year come to experience the majesty of these amazing creatures. We’ve sent bears to the Bronx Zoo, Montana Grizzly Encounter and the International Exotic Animal Sanctuary in Boyd, Texas. Our goal is to work with the Alaska Department of Fish & Game to someday release rehabbed bears back into the wild. As a 501(C)3 not-for-profit organization, The Fortress of the Bears rely solely on admission fees and donations for funding.

Sitka National Historic Park/Totem Park

On an island amid towering spruce and hemlock, Sitka National Historical Park preserves the site of a battle between invading Russian traders and indigenous Kiks.ádi Tlingit. Park visitors are awed by Tlingit and Haida totem poles standing along the park’s scenic coastal trail, and the restored Russian Bishop’s House speaks of Russia’s little known colonial legacy in North America
