Creator's Key Takeaways
Michelle and I didn't book any excursions, but there is a place called Creek Street, which is right down the road.
If you're a magnet collector, this is a great place to pick one up because it has all of our stops here on the spirit cruise.
When you're in Ketchikan, you absolutely have to check out the home of the happy bears. Say hi to Paula.
