Ketchikan Duck Tour

Ketchikan Duck Tour

Ketchikan was our last stop in Alaska so we had to take this amphibian ride around the city. With a population at the 2010 census of 8,050 within the city limits, it is the sixth-most populous city in Alaska and has the world's largest collection of standing totem poles. Named after the creek which flows through the town, Ketchikan comes from the Tlingit name for the creek, Kitschk-hin, the meaning of which may mean the river belonging to Kitschk. Here is a panoramic view of the town:

Ketchikan, AK. Totem Bight Park tour

The first people of Alaska have carved totem poles as part of their culture. The meanings and interpretation of the poles are included. The house shown is built the way Tlingit and Haida people have built it to house many families in one roof. The Totem Pole is the part of the house architecture. The Totem Bight park is full of wildlife and plants; berries: blueberries, huckleberries, salmon berries and large mossy trees. The body of water surrounding the park is clear and pristine. Bold Eagles are frequently seen in the park. There is coal in the crevices of the wooden ground at the beach of the park.
The cruise charges you more than $30 for this tour, plus the Creek street, but you can take the silver line bus to the park for $2 round-trip per person at this time and $1 for adults (50c) per ride. The silver line replaced the blue line. Just cross the street if you are traveling with a cruise line and you'll find the bus stop.
The ride takes about 20 minutes or less. The bus returns in an hour. Take an information booklet from the visitor center at the street before the park. The park does not have bathrooms in it, but the visitor information center has a bathroom near by. While there, also visit the park next to Totem Pole Bight Park.
