YUKATAT, ALASKA

It’s time to wake up in your Yakutat, Alaska, bed and breakfast lodging, after a great night’s sleep on the Inside Passage. Enjoy a hearty breakfast before hiking and kayaking your way to through the Alaskan countryside. Sandy beaches and surfing in the Yukon State?...and beachcombing for glass balls and driftwood? Yes, you heard right. Summer here in Yakutat, AK, also brings outdoor festivals and shows over the July 4 holiday, as well as the first Saturday in August each year. Make your reservation at one of the member inns of the BBAA sites, and then pack for your visit to this town on Monti Bay, which is the only Gulf of Alaska sheltered, deep water port. Travel to nearby Harlequin Lake and check out the freshwater glacier and the beautiful wildflowers. Disenchantment Bay is home to the Hubbard glacier, which is always moving, and is the largest tidewater glacier in the area. One fascinating thing to see is the native commercial fishermen, busy at work on the Situk River. Why not try some fishing yourself? Catch some salmon, halibut, or steelhead, with the help of a professional guide and a chartered boat. Guides are also available to introduce you to the rugged experience of Alaskan hunting, as you seek out geese, ducks, moose, mountain goats, black bear, brown bear, or the rare glacier bear. We look forward to hearing all about it!
