Ketchikan Totem Park
We visited the Totem Park while in Ketchikan for our Alaska Cruise via the NCL Pearl. Here the tour guide talks about several of the more notable totem poles. See photographs of the park here:
Ketchikan, Alaska (Creek Street and Cape Fox Hill Tram)
Creek Street is a historic boardwalk perched on pilings along the banks of Ketchikan Creek in Ketchikan, Alaska. . It is now a quaint place to tour Dolly's House museum, view totem poles, shop at locally-owned stores and galleries, enjoy local art and culture. In the summer months salmon gather by the thousands to spawn upstream; seals and otters are never far away with eagles perched in the trees above.
The Cape Fox Hill-Creek Street Funicular (known as the tram), a sort of diagonal elevator, runs 211 feet from the boardwalk up to the Cape Fox Lodge on top of the hill. Take it up and then enjoy the walk down through the woods. The summertime fare is $2, but if no one is around, just press the up button and go.
