Ketchikan, Alaska (Creek Street and Cape Fox Hill Tram)
Creek Street is a historic boardwalk perched on pilings along the banks of Ketchikan Creek in Ketchikan, Alaska. . It is now a quaint place to tour Dolly's House museum, view totem poles, shop at locally-owned stores and galleries, enjoy local art and culture. In the summer months salmon gather by the thousands to spawn upstream; seals and otters are never far away with eagles perched in the trees above.
The Cape Fox Hill-Creek Street Funicular (known as the tram), a sort of diagonal elevator, runs 211 feet from the boardwalk up to the Cape Fox Lodge on top of the hill. Take it up and then enjoy the walk down through the woods. The summertime fare is $2, but if no one is around, just press the up button and go.

Ketchikan Shore Excursion Visit to Alaska Raptor Center and Creek Street
Ketchikan Shore Excursion Visit to Alaska Raptor Center and Creek Street
This is video from our excursion to the Alaska Rainforest Sanctuary, Raptor Center, and Totem poles. In this video we pick up where we left off after our nature walk through the Tongass rainforest. We watched a native Alaskan tribesman carving a totem pole, visited an historic lumber mill, and then the Alaska Raptor Center. This was the first stop on our Northbound Alaskan cruise sailing out of Vancouver in July. This was one of the excursions offered by the Norweigan Cruise ship. We learned a lot on this tour, the guide was quite knowledgable and shared a lot of information, overall a great experience! The video of the Tongass Rainforest nature walk is here:

Ketchikan (Alaska). Paseo por Creek Street
En la escala de nuestro crucero, el Celebrity Century, pudimos pasar una agradable tarde en esta bonita y acogedora ciudad de Ketchikan. El paseo por Creek Street tiene un encanto especial. Con poco más de 8.000 habitantes, Ketchikan es la quinta ciudad más grande de Alaska, lo que da una idea de las bajas densidades de población que hay en estas latitudes.
Dolly's on Creek Street in Ketchikan, AK
Andy shot this video and we had some fun with the bawdy history of Creek Street. Here's a transcript:
Andy: Welcome, everyone. This is Creek Street. This used to be all brothels. And... there were, like, 34 brothels along the creek here. And... this is in downtown Ketchikan, and that was pretty much the way it was until, I think they said, 1934. We do have a light rain falling right now, but in general, it's just a wonderful day in the neighborhood. And there's my wonderful husband...
Daniel: Hi!
(The next section of dialogue spoken with a stuffy English accent)
Andy: ...in front of Dolly's. Dolly's used to be what?
Daniel: Well, Miss Dolly was the proprietress of a house of sporting women.
Andy: Does that mean they liked to play volleyball?
Daniel: It means they liked to play the sort of sports that men like to play, if you catch my drift.
Andy: Like the skin flute?
(Back to regular American accent)
Daniel: Something like that.
Andy: Uh-huh.
Daniel: (laughs)
Andy: (English accent again) Oh, paw-paw, what do you think? Dolly's is quite interesting!

This video begins as we sail into the harbor on the Sapphire Princess. Once off the ship a head for Creek Street, a row of wooden buildings perched over the water on pilings, which is not a street at all, this boardwalk winds along Ketchikan Creek and was once the locale for all the area's brothels.

Walking in Ketchikan, Alaska - What to Do on Your Day in Port
This is a quick video of walking through Ketchikan, Alaska. Ketchikan is the state's southeasternmost major settlement. Downtown Ketchikan is a National Historic District. Incorporated on August 25, 1900. Ketchikan is located on Revillagigedo Island, so named in 1793 by Captain George Vancouver.
Ketchikan is named after Ketchikan Creek, which flows through the town, emptying into the Tongass Narrows a short distance southeast of its downtown. Ketchikan comes from the Tlingit name for the creek, Kitschk-hin, the meaning of which is unclear. It may mean the river belonging to Kitschk; other accounts claim it means Thundering Wings of an Eagle. In modern Tlingit this name is rendered as Kichx̱áan.
We walked up to Creek St. and then took the tram up to Cape Fox Lodge. We then walked down to the City Park and then back to the ship.
Note: At 5:13 the caption reads: We have walked about 'fo blocks' now. There is an outlet mall here with restrooms.
It should say 'four blocks'.
