Ketchikan at one time was the largest city in this part of Alaska. It has a colourful past with one of the main tourist draws being a walk along Creek Street, a former red light district. This town is known for two things: salmon and rain.
Rather luckily, we hit the end of the salmon run. We still noted quite a few laggards in the pools in front of the fish ladder becoming otters' lunches. We also timed our arrival on a clear sunny day somehow. That is something which occurs only about a hundred and twenty times a year. So, we missed seeing any of the town's 13 feet of average yearly rainfall.
Ketchikan was our last stop before we head back toward Vancouver.
