Creator's Key Takeaways
one of the benefits of sailing this early on in the season is that there's still snow on the mountains or there can be and that makes the scenery a little bit more breathtaking than it might otherwise be
the shuttle bus is free with Norwegian Cruise Lines and the driver was really knowledgeable and told us a lot about the area on our way into Sitka
the high highlight of the park is definitely the totem Trail I've seen in other Vlogs that you can actually watch them carving the totems here
we were surprised to see the amount of snow on the ground and very glad we were wearing snow boots which meant we could walk the Nugget Falls Trail

Empty or crowded? Is anything open?! What's the weather like? Is it snowy? What is there to do?! We answer all these questions and more in this video. And in the coming weeks, we'll do a deep dive into each of these ports as we vlog them in detail!
