Beautiful Ketchikan! My favourite stop on this cruise.
Ketchikan, named after Ketchikan Creek which flows through the town, is kept afloat but the fishing and tourism industries. Many of the houses are built on stilts and some streets (walkways to a London girl) are made of wooden platforms. We walked through the quieter, non touristy, part of town to get to the rain forest walk.
After mounting countless steps, I stopped counting at 162, we found ourselves in the beautiful depths of the forest. We clambered up and down higgledy-piggledy stonecrumb trail, stopping every now and then to take in fantastic panoramic views, for around ¾ hour until we stammered down some slippery steps at the other end.
I would highly recommend making the effort to find this trail and enjoy its splendour.
