While sailing from Kodiak to Yakutat in 1791, Russian fur trader Alexander Baranov found shelter here from a storm. Because it was Easter, he named the haven Resurrection Bay. Throughout the 1790s, Baranov used Resurrection Bay as Alaska's first shipyard, building small, sturdy boats to hunt sea otters. In 1903, railroad surveyors formally established Seward as a sea terminal and supply center for the Alaska Railroad, mainly because of its deep, ice-free harbor. The town also became a center for gold miners, trappers, loggers and fishermen. Between 1910 and 1911, miners blazed a 1,000-mile dog sled trail from Seward to Nome that became known as the Iditarod Trail. The community remained a quiet fishing port for the next several decades. All that ended in 1964 when an earthquake rocked the town. Miraculously, no one was killed, but it took several decades to completely rebuild the downtown area.
Skagway was the gateway to the gold fields for the thousands who flocked to Alaska and the Yukon with the hope of striking it rich. Skagway may have boasted the shortest route to the Klondike, but it wasn't the easiest. Over 100 years ago, the White Pass route through the Coast Mountains and the shorter but steeper Chilkoot Trail were used by countless stampeders. Many a would-be miner perished on the treacherous Chilkoot Trail. The gold rush was a boon and by 1898, Skagway was Alaska's largest town with a population of about 20,000. Hotels, saloons, dance halls and gambling houses prospered. But when the gold yield dwindled in 1900, so did the population as miners quickly shifted to new finds in Nome. Today, Skagway has less than 1,000 residents. It still retains the flavor of the gold rush era.
Migrating whales, rivers of ice and super fresh seafood capture the hearts of its visitors, although Alaska’s capital city also has a strong mining history. Once the sacred territory of the Auke and Taku tribes, Juneau was named after the gold prospector Joe Juneau.
Super-scenic Ketchikan sits on the edge of Revillagigedo Island, surrounded by the verdant Tongass National Forest. Its waters are rich with Pacific salmon, a fact which drew native Tlingit and industrial fishermen here, not to mention an abundance of wildlife. Black bears can often be seen catching fish from passing streams, while birds of prey soar over glacial mountains.
Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful spots on earth, it’s no wonder that Vancouver is a popular spot for tourists looking to enjoy some fresh air and vibrant Canadian culture.
