Thread: Ketchikan AK

Ketchikan -- we literally dock right next to the town. Lots of Totem poles and so many sea planes landing and taking off in the harbor.

Plenty of shops nearby, lumberjack show and Creek Street.

We didn't make it over to Creek Street last time and definitely want to see it this time for sure. Also there is a museum about a block from the dock, would like to go thru that too.

I "think" this is it.

There is a Totem Bight Historical State Park outside of the city

Love all of these threads Mary!!! Great job, I'm so excited!!

Thank you. It was so nice that CLF extablishe our group space so quickly. By the time we cruise next year we will all be soooooo knowledgeable about Alaska and the ports.

We are really excited too and very glad you are coming too.

The shops on Creek Street have better than average prices also. The shops by the dock are basically all the same company.

You literally dock next to town when you are in Ketchikan:




Fun way to see the town.


This is a DUCK tour. The bus actually can float so part of the excusrion is on land, part in the water.


I believe this is the tram/cable car system that is in Creek Street area. It literally goes up the side of the hill.
It is called the Funicular
