Ketchikan Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)

Alaska’s First City

Ketchikan is sometimes referred to as Alaska’s first city. It is a common port for Alaskan cruises, and there are some walking trails and entertainment near the cruise ship terminal. We walked to Creek Street, which has a lot of shops and some cafes and restaurants serving local eats (e.g. crab, salmon, reindeer jerky). A popular attraction is the Alaskan Lumberjack show. It was pouring rain while we were there, but that’s typical Alaskan weather, so wearing layers and waterproof clothing and shoes are important for this excursion. #us #usatravel #alaska

Alaska First City

#celebratewithtrip Ketchikan also know as the Salmon Capital of the World! Ketchikan, derived from the Tinglit language, is the earliest incorporated city of Alaska. Ketchikan has had a welcome sign in the same original location for over 75 years. The sign arches over Mission Street in downtown Ketchikan so make sure to take picture of it . Creek Street is one of the most popular places to see with things to do in Ketchikan, it is a quaint boardwalk perched on pilings along the Ketchikan Creek. You can visit a brothel turned museum (Dolly’s House), watch salmon spawning, and shop at some of the most unique shops along the way. #tripblazers #fallingforfall
