Part of the town build over the salmon run creek. Very, very touristy but some top galleries for art, jewellery, local crafts. And although I knock the tourists (I’m one too) it was very interesting.

Looking down into the water of the creek at the salmon still trying to get upstream to spawn.

Ketchikan, the biggest tourist town we berthed at. There were 4 huge cruise ships in dock the day we had free between two of our Alaska tours. Our boat only had 12 people total on board for the trip from Ketchikan to Port McNeil in British Columbia. Our final tour in this amazing part of the world.

A duckie tour of Ketchikan with the huge cruise ships behind it.
