Begin your<br />
Adventure<br />
We look forward to showing you our<br />
town of <strong>Ketchikan</strong>. Just 700 miles<br />
north of Seattle, <strong>Ketchikan</strong> is an island community,<br />
accessible only by sea or air. Located<br />
along Alaska’s famed Inside Passage, in<br />
the heart of the Tongass National Forest,<br />
<strong>Ketchikan</strong> is a popular destination for cruise<br />
travelers, sportfishers, adventurers or<br />
anyone wishing to take a break from<br />
everyday life to experience our<br />
unique lifestyle.<br />
<strong>Ketchikan</strong>’s indigenous peoples prized the<br />
abundant return of salmon to <strong>Ketchikan</strong><br />
Creek, located in the very center of our<br />
downtown. In 1900, the City of <strong>Ketchikan</strong> was<br />
established by later settlers who recognized<br />
the commercial value of the salmon, timber<br />
and other natural resources of the area.<br />
Whether you’re visiting us on a cruise, looking<br />
to get away for a few days or need an extended<br />
adventure, our town is your kind of town.
<strong>Ketchikan</strong> is one of America’s<br />
Top 100 Arts Communities.<br />
Stroll through town and see the<br />
abundance of Alaskan Native and<br />
contemporary art forms practiced<br />
by residents, providing a visual<br />
journal of the history and present-day<br />
culture of the community.<br />
• Most local galleries are owned<br />
and operated by resident artists.<br />
• Art exhibits, festivals and special<br />
events are scheduled throughout the<br />
year. The Blueberry Arts Festival in<br />
August, and Festival of the North in<br />
February, are highlights each year.<br />
• Pick up the <strong>Ketchikan</strong> Arts Guide for<br />
information on museums, galleries,<br />
performances and other arts outlets<br />
in the community.<br />

Tongass<br />
National Forest<br />
<strong>Ketchikan</strong> is located in the<br />
heart of the nation’s largest<br />
national forest, the 17 million<br />
acre Tongass.<br />
This temperate rainforest is an integral<br />
part of the resident lifestyle in<br />
Southeast Alaska, providing wood for<br />
industry, habitat for birds and animals,<br />
food, and the basics needed for<br />
the daily life of the Northwest coastal<br />
tribes indigenous to the area. Travel<br />
from <strong>Ketchikan</strong> to Yakutat, and you<br />
will still have not left the Tongass.<br />
In and around <strong>Ketchikan</strong> you will<br />
‘visit’ the Tongass while cruising along<br />
its shores, hiking local trails, flying<br />
into a remote lake, or camping and<br />
picnicking at a recreation area. As you<br />
plan your visit, it will be apparent<br />
that the Tongass plays a large role in<br />
much of what you will see and do in<br />
Southeast Alaska.<br />

marine life, birds and animals<br />
move in migratory patterns and<br />
follow food sources throughout<br />
the year.<br />
• Over 250 birds have been documented<br />
in <strong>Ketchikan</strong>. The annual Alaska<br />
Hummingbird Festival in April celebrates<br />
the return of all migratory<br />
birds each spring.<br />
• Migrating Humpback and Orca<br />
whales, as well as sea lions, seals and<br />
porpoises are frequently spotted on<br />
cruise excursions.<br />
• Black bear are most often seen while<br />
searching for food near salmon<br />
streams and in wooded areas where<br />
berries and other edible plants are<br />
available.<br />
• Sitka Black-Tailed deer inhabit the<br />
beaches and forest. Mountain goats<br />
and wolves are often sighted at<br />
higher elevations.<br />

Before you go:<br />
<strong>Ketchikan</strong> has so much to<br />
offer that you might not want<br />
to leave – just ask some of our<br />
residents who “came for a<br />
visit.” While cruise passengers<br />
are typically in port for six to<br />
eight hours, air and ferry<br />
travelers have more flexibility<br />
in planning their stays. A 3 to<br />
4-day visit will acquaint you<br />
with our island and provide<br />
time for sightseeing and some<br />
activities. You’ll want to plan<br />
additional time in town for<br />
side trips to neighboring<br />
islands and day tours. If<br />
you are planning a remote<br />
getaway to a fishing lodge<br />
or backcountry adventure,<br />
consider adding a few days to<br />
your stay to see more of what<br />
makes our town a great<br />
destination.<br />
<strong>Ketchikan</strong> is a popular destination<br />
May through September,<br />
and as such, requires some<br />
advance planning to make the<br />
most of your visit. Transportation<br />
and accommodations<br />
should be booked well in<br />
advance. Check with your host<br />
property on location and intown<br />
transportation options<br />
available. October through<br />
April is a slower pace, but be<br />
sure to book in advance to<br />
assure your choice of dates.<br />
What to bring:<br />
• Casual, comfortable clothing<br />
is the norm. Choose lightweight<br />
shirts that can be<br />
layered under sweaters and<br />
jackets so that you can dress<br />
up or down as needed for<br />
the weather. Pants and<br />
shorts, a water-resistant coat<br />
with hood and sturdy, waterproof<br />
shoes will provide you<br />
with the greatest comfort.<br />
• You may wish to bring a hat,<br />
lightweight gloves and<br />
raingear depending on your<br />
chosen activities.<br />
• Sunglasses and sunscreen<br />
are also recommended.<br />
• If you are prone to motion<br />
sickness, speak to a physician<br />
before your trip.<br />
Getting around<br />
<strong>Ketchikan</strong>:<br />
• <strong>Ketchikan</strong> International<br />
Airport is located on<br />
Gravina Island and requires<br />
a 5-minute ride to town.<br />
Ferries depart the airport on<br />
the hour/half hour. During<br />
peak summer periods,<br />
departures are every 15<br />
minutes. Fares start at $5.00<br />
for adults, $6.00 for vehicles<br />
one way.<br />
• Airport shuttle vans and a<br />
water taxi service meet all<br />
flights, transporting passengers<br />
and luggage from<br />
baggage claim to your<br />
<strong>Ketchikan</strong> destination.<br />
• Rental cars can be arranged<br />
and picked up at the<br />
<strong>Ketchikan</strong> International<br />
Airport as well as in town.<br />
• Municipal bus service operates<br />
seven days a week,<br />
providing service on major<br />
streets and larger residential<br />
areas. Fares start at $1.50;<br />
buses run every 30 minutes.<br />
• Public parking lots have time<br />
restrictions and/or require a<br />
permit. One day permits are<br />
$5.00, available for purchase<br />
at City Hall, downtown.<br />
• Taxis meet airport ferry and<br />
state ferry arrivals. Rates are<br />
$3.70 a drop, $3.20 per mile.<br />
Travel Advice<br />
• Air taxis (floatplanes) provide<br />
scheduled commuter<br />
service as well as charters<br />
to remote locations.<br />
• Observe traffic rules. Use<br />
crosswalks and follow directions<br />
provided by crossing<br />
guards at downtown<br />
intersections. Vehicle and<br />
pedestrian traffic is heavy at<br />
times. Do not climb over or<br />
under rails separating the<br />
street from pedestrian areas<br />
(yes, it really does happen).<br />

Native Culture<br />
Day One: Visit local attractions for an<br />
introduction to the area’s indigenous<br />
peoples. The Southeast Alaska<br />
Discovery Center’s Native Traditions<br />
room, the Tongass Historical Museum,<br />
the Totem Heritage Center, and the<br />
Deer Mountain Tribal Hatchery and<br />
Eagle Center offer insight about our<br />
native residents. Take a walk through<br />
downtown to see examples of totem<br />
poles; locations are noted on the<br />
walking tour map available at the<br />
<strong>Ketchikan</strong> <strong>Visitors</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong>.<br />
Day Two: Take an organized or selfguided<br />
tour to Totem Bight State Park<br />
and to Saxman Native Village. Both<br />
parks feature clan houses and large<br />
collections of poles. Saxman’s carving<br />
shed allows visitors to watch master<br />
carvers and their apprentices practice<br />
their craft near the clan house where<br />
Native dance performances are held.<br />
Day Three: Fly or ferry to Metlakatla,<br />
the only Indian reservation in the<br />
state, and home to the Tsimshian<br />
tribe. Activities include Native dance<br />
performances, artist demonstrations,<br />
refreshments and a community tour.<br />
Natural Wonders<br />
Day One: Visit Misty Fjords National<br />
Monument, where retreating glaciers<br />
have carved what many refer to as a<br />
northern equivalent of the Grand<br />
Canyon. Tour by boat, plane or both.<br />
Day Two: On Prince of Wales Island,<br />
El Capitan Cave is part of a vast karst<br />
network discovered just over a<br />
decade ago. Artifacts show evidence<br />
42<br />
Itineraries<br />
of human occupancy over 9,500 years<br />
ago and grizzly bear bones dated<br />
30,000 years old. Managed by the U.S.<br />
Forest Service, guided tours can be<br />
arranged in advance.<br />
Day Three: Consider a kayaking excursion<br />
along the shores of neighboring<br />
islands, or a day hike on one of <strong>Ketchikan</strong>’s<br />
local trails. Deer Mountain offers<br />
breathtaking views of <strong>Ketchikan</strong> and<br />
the surrounding area, while other<br />
trails lead to the solitude of backcountry<br />
lakes or through the massive<br />
Tongass Forest.<br />
Options: Glaciers can be viewed near<br />
Wrangell and Petersburg to the<br />
north; or near Hyder, Alaska, located<br />
on the mainland adjacent to British<br />
Columbia.<br />
Sportfishing<br />
Day One: Book a space on one of<br />
the area’s many guided charter boats.<br />
You’ll get a feel for the species available<br />
during your visit and pick up tips<br />
for the pros.<br />
Day Two through Four: Consider a<br />
remote fishing adventure selecting<br />
from one of the area’s lodges, resorts<br />
or chartered yachts. Many offer both<br />
salt and freshwater expeditions. Most<br />
packages provide lodging, guided<br />
fishing or boats for your use, meals<br />
and processing of your catch.<br />
Options: Charter a plane and guide,<br />
and head to one of the local lakes<br />
to try your luck at fishing for Dolly<br />
Varden, Rainbow or Cutthroat trout.<br />
Steelhead fishing is also available<br />
in <strong>Ketchikan</strong> and on Prince of<br />
Wales Island.
Camping is a favorite local<br />
pastime and there are several<br />
facilities for visitors to enjoy, too.<br />
• The Ward Lake Recreational Area<br />
includes three campgrounds that<br />
provide 47 sites. Campsites accommodate<br />
vehicles up to 45’ long;<br />
most sites handle 30’ to 36’ vehicles.<br />
Reservations are available.<br />
• Settler’s Cove Campground provides<br />
14 campsites situated on saltwater,<br />
18 miles north of town. Thirteen<br />
accommodate RVs; four handle<br />
vehicles up to 35’ long. All sites are<br />
on a first-come, first-served basis.<br />
• Clover Pass Resort offers private<br />
RV facilities that fill quickly during<br />
peak summer months. Reservations<br />
well in advance are strongly<br />
recommended.<br />
• Remote cabin rentals are offered by<br />
the U.S. Forest Service or Alaska<br />
State Parks in lakefront and saltwater<br />
locations. Cabins are furnished<br />
with bunks, tables, wood or oil-fired<br />
stoves. Transportation via floatplane<br />
or boat can be arranged through<br />
local charter companies.<br />
