I loved walking outside the visitor center to the intertidal zone. The water was filled with purple crabs, sea urchins, sea stars, limpids, and sea cucumbers.

Lifting rocks.
One of my favorite things to do in Sitka is walking down to the harbor on a sunny evening. I love climbing around on the rocks, watch the salmon jumping, and seeing bald eagles flying around me.

BANANA SLUGS
Banana slugs are super cool. But, you don't want to touch one--- they are super sticky! They move about 6 inches per hour.
Farmers Market
The farmers market is very different than North Carolina. They have lots of arts, crafts, jams, sea asparagus (seaweed that you can eat), and fresh fish. Not many fruits and vegetables. The farmers market has a beautiful setting by the docks. I aslo ate a reindeer dog, delicious!
