mkkao924 Posted November 18, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 18, 2019 If we are visiting Ketchikan in June, I am assuming we are too early for Salmon Run? That being said, as I am reading the walking tour map (https://www.experienceketchikan.com/support-files/ketchikan_maps_downtown_2016.pdf), I am thinking that we will skip the upper half of the tour. We will probably 1. Walk along Mission St, 2. Make a right on Bawden 3. Walk across Whale Park 4. Make a right on Stedman 5. Stop at Thomas Basin 6. Turn back and continue on Creek St 7. Turn left on Footbridge then head back to ship I think the only thing we will probably miss is the Hatchery. However I think their review was just so-so? Is there any other place that I should stop and see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvteaching Posted November 19, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Hi, We've been to Ketchikan close to 20 times and we do a lot of walking. We love the walk up Deermount to the Totem Heritage Center then across the bridge to a lovely park. We don't usually go to the hatchery but enjoy the park. From there we head down Park Avenue to town. If you want you can take a side-cut to Cape Fox Lodge and see their totems and enjoy the view. When you come down off of Park, go in front of the Tongass Museum and you'll be at the other end of Creek Street. There is a really nice local bookstore that is always fun to wander around in!
