Catch A Break In Ketchikan

Ketchikan is found deep in the Alaskan pan handle, and is known as the "Salmon capital of the world." Found in the Ketchikan Gateway Borough, this quaint city is home to the Bering Sea Crab Fishermen's Tour - a hands-on experience for the guests to see what life is like for crab fishermen. Grab a glimpse of Ketchikan’s historic past at the Tongass Historical Museum. Historic Creek Street has plenty to offer, and the Saxman Native Village is certainly a must-see. Totem Bight State Historical Park and Potlatch Park are great for a relaxing day - pack a picnic or just bring a good book. See some amazing natural works of art at the Tongass National Forest (home to the Mendenhall Glacier Recreation Area and Misty Fiords National Monument). The kids will certainly enjoy the Alaska Rainforest Sanctuary, with amazing views of nature. Stretch out your legs with a hike on the Deer Mountain Trail. And if you’re visiting in August, don’t miss the Blueberry Art Festival. Traveling into Ketchikan is done by air, with visitors arriving at Ketchikan International Airport, or by boat along the waters of Pennock Island.
