Creator's Key Takeaways

we were disappointed that no bears were out, but we continued up the road and were pleasantly surprised to have the hidden waterfall all to ourselves

we got super lucky we're the only ones here right now

it's about two and a half miles up to the lake but it is vertical so if you're a hiker you'll enjoy it

overall the trip has been very good we had a few hiccups but today was great

โœ“Rent a car for the day to explore Ketchikan efficiently

One Full Day in Ketchikan, Alaska! ๐Ÿ˜ฎโœจ Episode 10: We rented a car through Alaska Car Rentals for $100 for the entire day ($25 per person shore excursion)! Starting the day at Herring Cove, we were disappointed that no bears were out, but we continued up the road and were pleasantly surprised to have the hidden waterfall all to ourselves. Based on a local's recommendation, we attempted to hike Silvis Lake trail before a final stop at Herring Cove. After returning our rental car, we explored downtown Ketchikan by foot and visited the iconic Creek Street (red light district of Alaska!) Come along with us as we take in the beautiful sights and sounds of Alaska. KETCHIKAN RENTAL CAR ITINERARY: 1. Herring Cove (bear sightings) 2. Hidden Waterfall 3. Silvis Lake Hike 4.
