Phantse wonke umntu uyaluthanda usuku olunelanga elunxwemeni, kodwa kukwakho into enomtsalane ngeedolophu ezincinci, izindlu ezinembali, amazibuko agcwaliswe ngamaphenyane, ukuphola emoyeni, kunye nomva wamahlathi ompayina neenduli ezinde. Amafu e-Fluffy phakathi kwamabala aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, okanye isibhakabhaka esingwevu kunye namathontsi emvula, enza umoya ococekileyo kunengubo yolwandle kwisanti efudumeleyo. Ukuba uyathandabuza, sinemizekelo embalwa yeedolophu ezincinci eziselunxwemeni eAlaska eziya kuthi zikulungele ukuthengisa isuti yakho yokuqubha ngengubo ekhukhumeleyo, nokuba kungeveki okanye ezimbini.

Ketchikan

Le dolophu ikwincam esemazantsi eAlaska's Inside Passage, uthungelwano lweendlela zamanzi, ii-coves, kunye neziqithi ezincinci ezingaphezu kwe-1 000 ezenziwa ngamakhephu omkhenkce ngexesha lokugqibela lomkhenkce. Iintaba, amahlathi, kunye nezilwanyana zasendle kulwandle nasemhlabeni zenza ukuba le ndawo ibe yindawo yokuhamba ngenqanawa oyithandayo.

Iindwendwe ezisondela zisuka elwandle ziya kubethwa ngumbono wezindlu ezenziwe ngeplanga ezenziwe ngemibala ezibekwe ezibondeni, imibala yazo ibonakaliswe emanzini kwizibuko ledolophu. Iinduli ezinamahlathi ziqengqelekela phezulu, kwaye ngasemva kohlaza oluhlaza lwemithi, iintaba ezirhabaxa ezizaliswe likhephu ziyavela. Amanzi ahamba edolophini, kwaye i-Creek Street's boardwalk yakhiwe ngaphezulu kweKetchikan Creek kwisithili sembali sedolophu. Kukho indawo ehamba phambi kwamanzi, iindlela zokuhamba intaba, kunye nezigidi zeehektare zeTongass Rainforest.

Kwimixholo yemvula, abahlali babhiyozela ilanga labo kunye neenkcukacha zeposi zemvula. Izilwanyana ezininzi zasendle zikhula kakuhle kule ndawo, kubandakanya iminenga ebulalayo, iingonyama zolwandle, iibhere, amaxhama kunye neenkozi ezinenkqayi. I-Ketchikan yaziwa nangokuthi totems, iipali ezenziwe ngomthi ezenziwe ngabantu baseMelika baseMelika, eziboniswa kulo lonke idolophu nakwiipaki ze totem. Ngokwendalo, ukutya kwaselwandle okutsha kukumenyu. Khangela i-salmon, i-halibut, i-red snapper, kunye ne-king crab. Umoya ococekileyo, ukutya okumnandi, ubuhle bendalo, kunye nemisebenzi yangaphandle yenza iKetchikan yenye yeedolophu ezithandwayo zolwandle zaseAlaska.

Sitka

Ifumaneka kwihlathi elinemozulu epholileyo, imvula yonyaka yeSitka ijikeleze ii-intshi ezingama-95, kwaye imozulu intle kwaye ipholile, iphantsi ngoDisemba nangoJanuwari malunga nama-30 degrees. I-Sitka ifikeleleka kuphela ngomoya okanye ulwandle, ebekwe kunxweme lwePasifiki lweBaranof Island emanzini e-Inside Passage yaseAlaska. Iphenyane iAlaska Marine Highway lidibanisa esi siqithi kunye nomhlaba, ukubonelela abakhweli kunye nezithuthi.

Njengesixeko sokuqala saseAlaska, iSitka ityebile kwimbali nenkcubeko ebandakanya indalo yaseTlingit kunye neempembelelo zaseRussia ukusuka kwixesha lazo njengendawo yokuhlala yaseRussia. Iicawa, kubandakanya ne-St Michael's Russian Orthodox Cathedral eyakhiwe ngokutsha, ingqokelela yendlu yobugcisa kunye nobuncwane benkolo. ISitka National Historical Park ibonisa izibonda zomthonyama zaseTlingit kunye neHaida ecaleni kwendlela yonxweme epakiweyo kunye nendlu kaBhishophu waseRussia obuyiselweyo. I-Sitka ibamba uMnyhadala woMculo wehlobo rhoqo ngoJuni, obanjwa ngaphezulu kweeveki ezine kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo kufutshane nedolophu.

Idolophu yaseSitka ehamba edolophini yindawo entle yokuthenga, ngendalo efana nomsebenzi wesilivere waseTlingit, imikrolo, iimaski, kunye neebhasikithi eziphothiweyo. Iibhokisi zemveli zerashiya ze-lacquer, oonodoli bokuzalisa, kunye nee icon ziyafumaneka nazo. Abathengi banokufumana izinto ezibonakalayo ezinjengeebhutsi ezingangeni manzi, iipali zokuloba, kunye neempahla ezishushu. Kwigalari yeArtove Cove, iindwendwe zithengela ibhaskiti eyiyo, imifanekiso eqingqiweyo, oonodoli kunye nobucwebe kubazobi baseAlaska nabasekhaya. Ukugqibelela kokumisa emva kokuthenga, uMthombo weSoda waseHarry ukhonza izinto ezindala ezifana ne-sundaes, i-malts kunye neebhanana.

Seward

Esi sixeko sathiywa igama likaWilliam H. Seward, Unobhala Wezangaphandle wase-US owathetha-thethana ngokuthengwa kweAlaska eRashiya. INtaba iMarathon ibetha ngaphezulu kweSeward, kwaye unyaka nonyaka isixeko sibamba umngeni oziimayile ezi-3.1 ukuya ku-3,022 yeentaba, sitsala iimbaleki ezivela kwihlabathi liphela ukuya kumnyhadala nakwimibhiyozo yeSeward kaJulayi wesine.

Cwangcisa uvuko Bay, Seward isango lokuya eKenai Fjords National Park, indawo enkulu yeHarding Ice Field kunye namanzi omkhenkce azala elwandle phakathi kwezitywina, iingonyama zolwandle kunye neminenga. Uhambo losuku luthatha iindwendwe ukuze zibone izilwanyana zasendle kunye nokuvala izimvo zomkhenkce. I-Alaska SeaLife Centre yenye into ethandwayo, i-aquarium kawonke-wonke kunye nezixhobo zikarhulumente ezisisigxina zokuvuselela izilwanyana. IZiko leLifa leMveli laseAlaska libalisa ukubaliswa kwamabali, ingoma kunye nomdaniso, kunye nengqokelela yobugcisa ekwabelaneni ngembali yamaqela enkcubeko eAlaska.

Ubugcisa buqhubeka edolophini iSeward ngemizobo ebonisa abalinganiswa bembali, iminyhadala kunye nendalo. Umculo obukhoma yenye yezinto eziqhelekileyo edolophini yaseSeward, ngakumbi ehlotyeni xa imivalo yendawo, iivenkile kunye nevenkile zekofu zisingatha iikonsathi. Iigalari zikaSeward zibonelela ngendalo yendawo efana nokupeyinta, ubucwebe, iiseramikhi, iibhasikiti, oonodoli, amagubu, kunye neemaski. Ukuhambahamba phakathi kwevenkile kunye neegalari ezibukekayo ezibukweni lolwandle yenye yeendlela zokuchitha imvakwemini egqibeleleyo eSeward.

Skagway

Isitalato esikhulu eSkagway, eAlaska, eUnited States-Qaphela umgama omfutshane phakathi kwenqanawa yokuhamba ngenqanawa kwizibuko kunye neevenkile zabakhenkethi kunye nezinto ezinomtsalane. Ityala: UStephen Dorey / Getty Izithombe

Ifunyenwe kwindawo esemantla ePaseji yangaphakathi, iSkagway ibekwe kwintlambo emxinwa. Isixeko siqhagamshelene neKlondike Highway evumela ukufikelela ezindleleni, kwaye ikwasisibuko sokubiza inkqubo yokuhamba ngenqanawa eAlaska, iAlaska Marine Highway. Indawo yayo esemantla ibonelela ngeeyure ezili-18 zokukhanya kwelanga ehlotyeni, xa imozulu ifudumele kwaye yomile.

Idolophu yaseSkagway edolophini ijongeka ngokungathi injalo kwiminyaka elikhulu eyadlulayo ngeefestile zomthi ezenziwe ngamaplanga kunye nezakhiwo zesitayile sexesha. I-Gold Rush era yoyilo igcinwe njengenxalenye yeKlondike Gold Rush National Historical Park, ekhumbula imicimbi ka-1897-98, xa kwafunyanwa igolide kwaza kwafakwa izitampu kwindawo enzima yommandla kumzamo ongaphumelelanga wokufumana ubutyebi. Kukho iZiko leeNdwendwe kwindawo yokugcina izinto kaloliwe ebuyiselweyo yowe-1898 enika iinkqubo ezahlukeneyo kunye nemiboniso ngeenyanga zasehlotyeni. Iinqwelo zokuvuna ze-White Pass kunye ne-Yukon Route Railroad zihamba ngaphaya kweNdlela yeChilkoot.

Iziganeko ezininzi ngonyaka zizisa iindwendwe ezininzi eSkagway. I-Buckwheat Ski Classic yonyaka, ugqatso lwe-ski kwilizwe liphela, lwenzeka ngo-Matshi. Ehlotyeni, ukunyuka intaba kunye nemisebenzi yangaphandle iyaqhubeka, kwaye ukubhiyozela uSuku lweSolstice kunye ne-Independence lubonisa ukutya, imidlalo, umculo ophilayo, imikhosi kunye neegadi zebhiya. Ngo-Septemba, i-Klondike Road Relay iqhutywa ubusuku bonke kunye nangomso olandelayo phantsi kwesibhakabhaka esineenkwenkwezi kwaye ngamanye amaxesha ngemiboniso yezibane ezisemantla.

UGustavus

Ngokwenene isixeko esincinci esinabemi abamalunga ne-450, iGustavus ijikelezwe yiGlacier Bay National Park kunye neentaba ezigqunywe likhephu, malunga nokuhamba ngesikhephe iiyure ezine empuma yeJuneau. Malunga nesiqingatha semvula kaJuniau, imozulu elungeleleneyo ilungele imisebenzi yangaphandle kunye nokubonwa kwezilwanyana zasendle. Ehlotyeni abemi baseGustavus badumba ngamawaka njengoko isixeko siyindlela yokungena kwiPaki yeSizwe.

I-Gustavus inedolophu encinci, enobubele, kunye neefestile, iivenkile zokutyela, kunye neendawo ezahlukeneyo zokuhlala kwiindawo zeenkampu ukuya ezindlini zeendwendwe kunye nee-B & Bs. Ababhali, amagcisa, abagadi begadi, kunye nabathandi beendawo ezizolileyo bahlala eGustavus, kwaye imbali yedolophu yasekhaya ihlala kwindawo yayo yakudala. Iigalari, izitudiyo kunye neevenkile zibonisa kwaye zithengisa ubugcisa, imifanekiso eqingqiweyo, izinto zodongwe, imikrolo yeplanga, kunye nezacholo zamagcisa asekuhlaleni. Umlambo waseSalmon uhamba ngeedolophu, kwaye i-Icy Strait yikhaya le-salmon, i-halibut, iimpawu, imikhomo ye-humpback, i-orcas kunye ne-otters yolwandle. Ukubukela iminenga, ukuloba, ukuhamba ngephenyane, kunye nokhenketho lwezilwanyana zasendle ziyathandwa ziindwendwe.

IZiko leNdwendwe leGlacier Bay National Park liikhilomitha ezisithoba ukusuka eGustavus eBartlett Cove. Umkhenkce omangalisayo, ii-icebergs, ubomi baselwandle, kunye neentaba zenza iGlacier Bay ibe ngumbono ongenakulibaleka kubahambi ngeenqanawa. Abahambi abathatha ixesha lokundwendwela iGustavus kunye neGlacier Bay National Park banokuba namava edolophu enomtsalane ngokukodwa kunye nobuhle bendalo bepaki.
