Built out over <strong>the</strong> water and climbing wea<strong>the</strong>red stairways,<br />

Ketchikan clings to <strong>the</strong> shores of Tongass Narrows and drapes <strong>the</strong><br />

mountains with a cheerful air. Besides <strong>the</strong> main attractions —<br />

Creek Street, <strong>the</strong> Tongass Historical Museum, Totem Bight and<br />

Saxman Village — <strong>the</strong>re’s one o<strong>the</strong>r thing we highly recommend<br />

you do. A floatplane flightseeing trip to breathtaking Misty Fjords<br />

National Monument is a transforming adventure not to be missed.<br />

The souvenir photos you’ll take from <strong>the</strong> pontoons of <strong>the</strong> plane<br />

are worth <strong>the</strong> trip alone.<br />

Or go on a Ketchikan shopping spree. There are numerous galleries<br />

exhibiting Native Art and works by talented local artisans. Jewelry<br />

and souvenir shops line <strong>the</strong> docks. And you can find everything<br />

from locally canned and smoked salmon to Russian nesting dolls.<br />
