Alaska's Southeast Region
Visitors to Southeast Alaska get the feeling they're experiencing life in a remote corner of the world, far removed from modern day civilization. Despite its remote feeling, Southeast Alaska is actually very accessible. This is the corner of Alaska closest to what we call "the lower forty-eight." Cruise ship passengers, for instance, can depart Seattle in the afternoon and arrive in Ketchikan, Alaska the following morning. And Juneau, Alaska’s state capital and the Southeast Region’s largest community, is less than four hours away from San Francisco by commercial jetliner.
Though roads are few and far-between in the Southeast Region’s scenic maze of islands and waterways, Alaska visitors arriving via car can reach the outer edges of the Southeast via highway routes through British Columbia terminating in the Alaskan coastal towns of Skagway, Haines, and Prince Rupert. From here, Alaska travelers can book passage aboard car ferries and catch a lift to most of the other communities scattered throughout the Southeast Region.
Each of Southeast's communities has its own flavor and its own attractions: Petersburg, Alaska lays close by the foot the icy LeConte Glacier and is populated by proud and hard- working Norwegian sons and daughters who know, above all, the art and science of catching fish. Angoon is a quiet village where Tlingit Native people still cherish their cultural traditions and maintain a spiritual connection to those who have shared their rainforest island since time immemorial—brown bears, eagles, otters, and deer. Sitka, Alaska, like Angoon, has been home to Native Alaskans for thousands of years, but has also been home to transplants from Europe and Asia since the late 1700s when Russian fur traders first sailed into these coastal waters. Sitka has a New World / Old World flavor that's entirely unique, and it's nestled in surroundings that are entirely…breathtaking.
