Totem Bight State Historical Park, Ketchikan

A unique walk to experience the history of Alaska Totems. The park had authentic pieces and some pieces made just for the park. The park is very picturesque. A great place for couple and families. Bring rain boots and umbrella just in case, it rains more than 200 days a year in Alaska. I was luckily enough to go on a day it didn't rain, which was the 1st of 8 days. Our Tour guy was very knowledgeable and allow plenty of time to ask questions and look around on your own. Definitely a must see.

We came here with a guided tour via our cruise company. We learned which each totem pole represented. It was very interesting. We got to look through a window and see the man who made many totem poles working on his last one, and teaching his apprentices. It is a short ride from the terminal, and if you are looking for something that doesn’t take long I suggest you go. You could also come on your own. It was not too crowded dispute multiple cruise ships in town. There is also a gift shop with items. We got a great deal on two hooded sweaters, buy one for $10, get the second for $5. The workers in the store were friendly and attentive.
