Ketchikan, Alaska sees only 100 sunny days a year. That means that 234 days are filled with grey skies and precipitation. In fact, this is one of the rainiest places in North America. That’s because we’re located in the heart of the Tongass National Forest, which is the largest rainforest in North America. But we don’t let the weather get us down. We dress in plenty of layers (including a rain jacket) to explore the world outside and have lots to do inside. But what are those indoor pursuits?
Ketchikan is known for spirited salmon, breathtaking scenery, rich Alaska Native culture, and (if we do say so ourselves) Alaska Firearms Adventures. But once you get to the southernmost entrance to the state’s famed Inside Passage, it can be overwhelming to decide where to go and what to do. We’re making it easy for you, with our list of the top things to do in Ketchikan.
