Ketchikan, known for its vibrant totem poles and lush island setting, is a town of about 13,500 residents. In summer, cruise ships line the shores, floatplanes head to Misty Fiords, and fishing boats navigate Tongass Narrows. Once a logging and fishing hub, Ketchikan now thrives on tourism, yet retains its rugged spirit. Art enthusiasts will find a lively arts scene and a variety of Alaskan art. Nestled at the base of Deer Mountain on Revilla Island, the town's history includes Tlingit fish camps and a booming salmon-canning industry. Today, visitors enjoy easy walks through downtown, exploring spots like Creek Street and the Totem Heritage Center. Nearby, Totem Bight and Saxman Totem Parks offer glimpses into the area's rich cultural heritage.
