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 />

We share our island – locals<br />

on earth – with an amazing array<br />

of wildlife. Around <strong>Ketchikan</strong>,<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 />
