Rare RN_Prof Posted March 27 #1 Share Posted March 27 Which would you recommend, Totem Bright Historical State Park or Saxman Village? We've walked around Ketchikan already and would like to see more of the surrounding area. While we would like to learn more about the indigenous culture, we don't want it to be the only focus of the trip. Plus, we have some mobility issues, so strenuous hiking is out.

SightCRR Posted March 28 #2 Share Posted March 28 Ship docked in town or ward cove? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted March 28 #3 Share Posted March 28 I have done both and preferred Totem Bight. I was bored at Saxman. We had an awful guide. I liked that Totem Bight is on the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneyochem Posted March 28 #4 Share Posted March 28 I also prefer Totem Bight park. If you are docked in downtown Ketchikan, it’s easy to catch the city bus. It’s been a couple of years since I’ve done it, but I do believe it was $2 pp each way. Go out first thing to visit the park before the tour buses arrive! Much nicer! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SightCRR Posted March 28 #5 Share Posted March 28 T/B is less than 10 min bus ride from Ward Cove. Check bus schedule but I think once per hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldsc Posted March 30 #6 Share Posted March 30 Totem Bight definitely felt more real to me because of the environment. It is also much cheaper. Don't forget this place also - http://ketchikanmuseums.org/exhibits/totem-heritage-exhibits. It is a hidden gem in Ketchikan and it is right in the center of town.

Odonpeg Posted May 11 #8 Share Posted May 11 We took the city bus to Totem Bight last summer and it was absolutely beautiful! Highly recommend! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
