- We take a walk through Ketchikan, Alaska visiting Creek St. and the City Park. We see 1000's of salmon in Ketchikan Cr. We also go to the Southwest Alaska Discovery Center.
This was recorded in September 2021.
Ketchikan is the state's southeasternmost major settlement. Downtown Ketchikan is a National Historic District. Incorporated on August 25, 1900. Ketchikan is located on Revillagigedo Island, so named in 1793 by Captain George Vancouver.
Ketchikan is named after Ketchikan Creek, which flows through the town, emptying into the Tongass Narrows a short distance southeast of its downtown. "Ketchikan" comes from the Tlingit name for the creek, Kitschk-hin, the meaning of which is unclear. It may mean "the river belonging to Kitschk"; other accounts claim it means "Thundering Wings of an Eagle". In modern Tlingit this name is rendered as Kichx̱áan.

Our hometown! lovely place.
It sure is!
Love the video! Going on the Radiance of the Seas in Sept and was debating on the trolley tour, but thanks to your video, think we can just walk all around on our own and just pay for the lumberjack show! Thanks!
The Lumberjack show is cheaper if you pay at the door, but it may be sold out. But Ketchikan is easy to walk around . Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

Yes it was. We shoot 95% of our videos on GoPro cameras. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.
Thank you! So very helpful!! My first cruise ever in September to Alaska! We currently do not have an excursion for Ketchikan, good to know it can be a good walking day.
Enjoy your cruise! We’re going to Alaskan September also! Depending on what you want to see, many of the Alaska ports are good for walking. We have videos from many of them. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

Great video! I have my first Alaska cruise next month and this definitely helps! 😊
Have fun! We love Alaska! Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.
Planning a cruise and geocaching trip on an upcoming cruise. You passed by so many cool geocaches along the way. I followed your every step on my geocaching map and tried to spot them along the way but no luck. Oh well..Ill be there in August
We have another walking in Ketchikan video, in case you’ve never seen it. It’s just called “Walking in Ketchikan”. Have fun! Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.
Is it possible to see any fish run in late May? And thank you so so much for making this high quality video!!!
We are sorry to say, probably no fish in May. We hear July and September are the best months. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.
So helpful. We are going in July- on Holland America-Eurodam. How was the Salmon you bought and shipped home? Do you recommend? I am watching your Sitka video right now. Thank you!!!
Hi, we are going on Euordam in September! The salmon was good. Not sure if it was worth the price, and we just carried it home in our luggage. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.
Why are you wearing a mask in the great out doors?
We probably forgot to take them off. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.
You don't have to stop and show every 20 feet where you have come from. Its stupid and waste of time
Maybe. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.
