INSIDE PASSAGE - DID YOU KNOW?

The Inside Passage stretches from the Puget Sound in Washington State, all the way up the coast of British Columbia in Canada and through to Alaska. The area includes thousands of tiny islets and larger islands alike; and was formed by glaciers during the most recent Ice Age. This gives it a unique, ever-changing geographic feel!

You’ll potentially stop at several ports and villages on a tour of the Inside Passage, including Ketchikan. This is a great place to learn more about native American cultures, with its array of totem poles made by the indigenous Haida and Tlingit tribes. Visit the Totem Bight State Historical Park and Totem Heritage Centre to gain some insight.

Alaska’s Tongass National Forest is included within the Inside Passage, a prime space to spot wildlife as you walk along its forested trails. Don’t miss catching a glimpse of the Mendenhall Glacier here, as well as the impressive crashing waters at Nugget Falls. If you’re lucky, you’ll see a bear catching salmon as they swim upstream.

Learn more about Alaska’s Gold Run by visiting Skagway, located at the northern tip of the Inside Passage. There are just over 1,000 residents living in Skagway today, but this town once had a population of over 30,000 during its heyday.
