Dear Travelers,
Nestled on the hilly shoreline of the Tongass Narrows, colorful Ketchikan bills itself as “Alaska’s First City” and the “Salmon Capital of the World.” The cool, often damp weather (rain is by far the most frequent weather forecast) doesn’t seem to concern the residents, most of whom either fish or participate in the lively tourist trade for a living.
Venture beyond the T-shirt and jewelry shops to Saxman Native Village, where the Camp Fox Dancers perform in full regalia. Check out the exceptional totem pole collection, as well as the carving shed where new totems are skillfully shaped by hand. A stroll down the boardwalk of Creek Street brings you past a series of old houses perched on stilts-once the town’s red light district-things are a bit tamer nowadays.
See you there...
