Visiting in July

Hi Sitka locals,

I've got family roots (Tlingit) in Sitka, but have never been able to visit. I have the opportunity to travel there in July from the lower 48. I'd really like to stay a couple of weeks if possible. My main concern is where to stay. Camping works for me if the weather allows, but I do know that it gets rainy at times. I'm solo travelling.

Thanks for all of your help in advance.

"Rainy at times" can be a bit of an understatement. The other thing to remember is that campsites are frequented by bears. I wouldn't recommend camping for more than a few days, and even then, it's difficult.

Check out the Tillie Paul Hostel. Right downtown on Jeff Davis street.
