Mount Verstovia and Mount Arrowhead hike near Sitka, Alaska
The wilderness landscape surrounding Sitka, Alaska is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. The Mount Verstovia trailhead is on Sawmill Creek Road a few miles south of town. It's about a two-hour hike with moderate difficulty to the top and the views are well worth the effort. Just be sure to allow sufficient time to get back down before dark, or you could find yourself sliding and scrambling down muddy slopes in absolute darkness.

Sitka, Alaska
Sitka is an isolated town on Baranof Island in the Alaska Panhandle. The area was first settled by the Tlingit People. The Russians first settled here in 1799 and established the permanent town a few years later, making it the capital of their North American lands. The Cathedral of St. Michael was built in 1848 and became the Russian Bishop's seat for the region. The U.S. bought Alaska from the Russians in 1867; the transfer ceremony took place in Sitka. The Sitka National Historical Park preserves a number of sites associated with Tlingit, Russian and American history in the area.
One piece of trivia: Sitka is the largest city in the United States, as measured by geographic area. (By population, though, it's the fourth biggest city in Alaska at this time.)
