Great, picturesque bay, forested Islands around, seaplanes and high Deer Mountain over the small settlement. 1500 people only live here. Old, painted timber houses in the Creek Street. During the Gold Rush there were mostly public houses… Now – museums (seniors pay 5 USD for the tour to the Dolly’s Public House) and souvenir shops.
Nice, historic place. They offer free shuttle bus to the Totem Heritage Center on the hill (entry 5 $ again).
But the biggest attraction today are thousands of salmons jumping over the cascades in the Ketchikan Creek. Thousands of them mate up in the shallow river!
Public Library offers only 30 minutes of free internet. So I mus to finish. Greetings from Alaska!
