Alaska0799 Posted June 23, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Of the options in Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway, is Saxman Village in Ketchikan the best place for viewing totem poles? Thanks for any suggestions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted June 23, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Ketchikan is the best location for viewing totem poles. Options at Ketchikan include Saxman, Totem Bight and the Totem Heritage Museum (a city operated museum located actually in Ketchikan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSWBADGER Posted June 23, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 23, 2022 My vote goes to Sitka. Photo Gallery (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SightCRR Posted June 23, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 23, 2022 If your ship is at Ward Cove in Ketch then Totem Bight, is a 5 min bus ride away from town. Anywhere your ship is you will likely have time to visit more than one in Ketch if you want to. Sitka not on the list of stops. sightcrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kansas Gal Posted June 24, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 24, 2022 There are a number of totems in the town in Ketchikan. You can see them just by wandering around the town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted June 24, 2022 #6 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I prefer Totem Bight to Saxman Village. Ketchikan is the best port and there are several in town. I found the downtown museum sort of boring but some obviously like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J0Y0US Posted June 24, 2022 #7 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Ketchikan Walk around town and see them and also the museum has them preserved as well. Have not gone to Saxman myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
