This is Creek Street. The area became a red light district in 1903 when the town council ordered all bordellos to move across the creek. There were more than 30 houses. Prostitution was outlawed in 1953. Now they are cute little shops that the tourists off the Cruise ships like to visit. And so did we.
We visited the Deer Mountain Tribal Hatchery and Eagle Center. They help injured eagles, these two females have injured wings. We toured the salmon hatchery where they raise over 150,000 salmon a year and release them into the ocean.


Totem Bight Historical Center is a Park that has 14 Haida and Tlingit tribe poles and a model of a Clan House. We got there just as a cruise ship tour was starting so we tagged along and got a free tour with lots of information. It was great.

Today, our last day we drove out to as far as the road goes to the north of the town and walked into a beautiful waterfall through the rainforest. There were lots of trails and we took one down to the beach. It was very nice, especially since it was a very warm day, 68 degrees. The guide book told us that Ketchikan is very rainy, around 162 inches a year but for our three days it was dry.

Tomorrow we catch a ferry to Petersburg, nicknamed Little Norway.
