Creator's Key Takeaways

We're in uh Ketchikan, Alaska. And again, we're the only ship in port.

It used to be houses of ill repute. Used to be and that's why it's built over the water to avoid the law.

It's a beautiful place. It really is. But maybe only for summer, right?

We're coming here two more times in the next month.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book tours at the visitor's center as they are cheaper than the ship's tours.
Use a National Parks Pass for free entry to the Tongass National Forest Discovery Center.
Walk to Creek Street early to avoid crowds and enjoy the historic sites.
