We were a group of 12 people on a private tour of Ketchikan. Our Driver and guide "Kevin" was a walking encyclopedia on Ketchikan, he was amazing. Our tour was at a time in the season that places had started to shut down, however with Kevin's help we found a number of things to fill in our morning, travelling to the Historic Salmon Cannery, The Totem park, Creek Street & some lovely photo opportunities.
