Ketchikan

Embarkation

Ketchikan docks in the middle of a town built on stilts over the water, so Creek Street and the totem collections are a short walk. It is the wettest place most passengers will ever stand, which is worth packing for; the Misty Fjords floatplane is the excursion people remember.
