"Alaska Airlines" Top 5 Page for this destination Ketchikan Transportation Tip by mcpangie

Here is the view from over 30,000 feet as you fly over Ketchikan. I told the lady on the plane next to me that I'd lived in Ketchikan, and she said, "Oh, so you're Canadian?" No - British Columbia is within eyesight though.

Ah... the purple got goopy... that white dot along the coast beneath "Ketchikan" is a cruiseship. There was only one in town that day in August 2004.

If you fly into Kethikan, the International Airport is on Gravina, and you will take a small ferry ride across the Tongass Narrows to Ketchikan. In this picture, you can faintly see the light line that deliniates the Tongass Narrows. Ketchikan is on Revillagigedo Island. I have only circumnavigateg Gravina Island once by boat, there is some good fishing at Volner Point which is on the left side of Gravina, close to Tongass Narrows.

Annette Island is the only Indian Reservation in Alaska. If you are visiting Ketchikan, make sure to take a short float plane or ferry ride and visit Metlakatla.
