We've really enjoyed visiting Wrangell, Alaska. This is definitely a city that represents Alaska, not one that lives to host cruise ships. The view from the harbor and surrounding areas show that the water is changing color, picking up hues from nearby glacier waters.
There are several ferries that stop by a couple of times a week, and Alaska Air also has several flights into the nearby Airport. So, even if you don't have a boat I highly recommend you coming to Wrangell, Alaska for a visit. Quite a bit to do and there are some really cute B&B's, plus a few nice hotels.
This we hiked to a petroglyph park on the beach and explored for quite some time. There were also two old ship wrecks that were interesting to explore. Some pottery looked like dishes from the 1940's.
We visited the Wrangell Museum, which we view is one of the best museums in Alaska. A great collection, plus they have a glass window that allows you to view back into their archives.
Tomorrow morning we'll head off to Petersburg.
Here are some photos from our trip to Wrangell:

Here is a photo of the famous Chief Shakes Tribal House, on Chief Shakes Island, in the middle of the Wrangell Harbor.
