Sightseeing

Two words, The Views.
Deer Mountain
Two words, The Views.
Just up the street from your stay is this trail with the best views of Ketchikan's cityscape and Tongass Narrows. This is a little piece of nature tucked right in the middle of civilization. The nice thing about this one is you have the option to just take the 0.6mile "scenic route" or complete the entire trail to the college campus. Bring your camera because you will not be disappointed!

Icon Ketchikan is 5 minutes away from the apartment. Nestled in the forest on the other end of Park Ave is Married Man's Trail right in the heart of downtown. This trail follows the creek for .20miles and brings you straight to Creek Street, along the way, depending on the time of year, you can spot wild alaskan salmon swimming upstream to spawn. Creek Street's historic buildings, boardwalk and wood pilings are full of history, art, music & mischief (there was actually a brothel- Dolly's House here at one point!)
