Alaska has long been steeped in both mystique and tradition. From the native populations long history that includes generations upon generations who have lived and flourished here, to the gold rush in the late 1800’s, to more recent notoriety on television with shows like “Deadliest Catch” and “The Last Alaskans”- Alaska draws people from all over the world who want to experience it for themselves.

Ketchikan is the picturesque combination of everything these global travelers are looking for in a trip to Alaska. A town located on the waters edge with a backbone supported by mountain ranges, a town that is built by its own rich history, and a town dubbed “The Salmon Capital of the World”.
