Ketchikan, Alaska:
DID YOU KNOW....
1. TONGASS NATIONAL FOREST: Whatever the weather you should arrange to hike in this forest. The trails go miles so consulting a ranger or guide is a good idea.
Sometimes if you get up and out early enough you’ll have the whole trail to yourself. The whole forest covers 17 million acres and is the largest forest in the US. You don’t want to get lost here.
Wildlife that resides here includes beavers, otters, moose and bears and you’ll also see salmon in the streams and perhaps whales on the coast.
2. FJORDS: Fjords are the beauty you have come to see in Alaska. Expect gorgeous blue lakes, towering waterfalls, icy peaks and sprawling glacial rainforest valleys.
However you see this stunning scenic area, you must add it to your list when visiting Ketchikan. You may see some animals and birds during your tour, but it is such a vast place that spotting wildlife is not guaranteed
3. POTLATCH TOTEM PARK: Potlatch Totem Park is found on historic Tlingit Native fishing grounds on the shores of the Tongass National Park. Here you will find carved wood, houses, totem poles and panels most created by the talented female artist Brita Alander.
The totems include designs such as the Raven, the killer whale, Thunderbird and wolves which feature heavily in Tlingit mythology.
You can learn about the carving process by visiting the studio where there are live demonstrations for you to enjoy. There is also an antique car collection and rare antique fi****ms exhibit to explore.
