Zip Line adventure
by firefly2010
Looking into zip lining, in Ketchikan. Using Alaska Canopy Adventure, has anyone done this before? There are 2 different ones, "Rainforest Canopy and zip line" and "Bear creek zip line adventure." Does anyone recommend one or the other. thanxs

Hi - check on www.cruisecritic.com. Go to boards, then ports of call, then Alaska. You'll likely find the answer there. You have to sign up to post any questons - same as here. :-)) Have a great cruise!

Travel Tips for Ketchikan
LAND SHORTAGE
by balhannah
On our "Duck" tour, our knowledgeable guide told us about the land shortage in Ketchikan. He told us to have a look at the Town, and to take note of how the roads, etc are built, and pointed one out.
To our amazement, it wasn't built on land, but was built out from the hillside on a wooden trestle.
Taking more note, we saw shed's were built out over the water, Creek street walkway was over the creek, and so on......
You wouldn't want any knee or leg problems either, quite a few homes built on the hillsides are only accessible by steep, staircase walkways.
Float plane is the way to move here, not by car!

Visit the Tlingit village of Saxman and see the art of totem pole carving, live!
There is a great collection of local Indian art and culture displays which you don't want to miss. Deer mountain. A 3000 feet mountain rising almost out of the city itself.
We hiked up there with our friends/hosts and spent the night in an 'A' type cabine, after getting married up there !!! I don't think we will have too much competition with THAT wonderfull day.
We truely miss our friends there, who became our family (no double quotes!).
Totem poles on sight...
by Laura_Mexico
As you approach Ketchikan on board of the cruise ship you will get to see many of these TOTEMS (actually you will see many of them almost anywhere you go in Alaska) which were made by the natives a long time ago and which size is amazing!
Dry Docked Ferry
by mcpangie
Ketchikan is where the Alaska Marine Highway has a lot of work down on the ferries during the off-months in the winter when traffic slows down. This is the M/V Bartlett, which is no longer part of the AMHS fleet. The State of Alaska sold the ferry to the highest bidder on E-Bay.
Understanding Totem Poles - Bear
by mcpangie
Bears are considered to be powerful and possess human-like qualities.
One summer I went camping/hunting in Bristol Bay and my friends shot a black bear. When it was being dressed out, I was amazed at how the bear's feet were about the same size and shape as my hand. I have never been surprised that different cultural groups identify with the bear as human-like.
The sign says...
Bears:
Because of its power and human-like qualities, a killed bear was taken to the chief’s house and treated as a high ranking guest.
- large flaring nostrils
- wide-mouth with sharp canine teeth
- claw-like paws
- short tail or no tail
- protruding tongue
- prominent ears

Q: Where's a good bar? "Now that you guys helped me find my hat, I need a good bar that's not a tourist trap (if there is such a thing). Just a quiet..."
A: "The ships bars a quiet in port"
