Chichagof Island, located just south of Juneau, is a place of striking contrasts. Home to the largest Tlingit community in Alaska, the island boasts the highest population of brown bears per square mile globally, offering a glimpse into nature’s raw and untamed beauty. Despite this, it remains a popular port for cruise ships, making it a unique blend of wilderness and accessibility. Visitors can explore its rugged terrain, dense forests, and pristine coastlines, experiencing both the rich cultural heritage of the Tlingit people and the thrill of outdoor adventures.
