Potlatch Totems in Ketchikan and other ??'s

[star117]

Hi - I see a lot of reference to Saxman, Totem Bight, Totem Heritage totems but none to Potlatch. I even did a search and only found 1 unrelated post. Can anyone provide info about Potlatch? What would be an 'adequate' amount of time to spend at each totem site?

 

Anyone been to Settler's Cove that could provide info?

 

Is the salmon ladder I've seen referenced at the Eagle and Hatchery center?

 

Anyone used the company called Ketchican Taxi Cab Tours?

 

Can you buy tickets 'at the door' of the Lumberjack show, or should I get them through the ship?

 

Thanks much!

Yes you can get tickets at the door for the lumber show. We did that

ourselves 4 years ago.

The salmon ladder is just past the turn off for the Hatchery and Totem Heritage Center.

 

The Lumberjack Show frequently sells out. I've seen the sign up, just about every time I'm there. IF you choose to wait until you get there, that would be my first stop. Get your tickets then fill in your time with other activies.

We are booked for the floatplane in Ketchikan from 2-4 pm. If we want to go to the lumberjack show first, how would we get from the ship to the show and back again so we can be picked up at the raingauge for our floatplane trip? Thanks!
