To visit Ketchikan, ride a local bus to Saxman Native Village or Totem Bight, then self-guide to Creek St, Cape Fox Hotel, and Totem Heritage Center. Alaska specialists recommend visiting Ketchikan from 7am – 1pm, as it is one of the ports on their September sailing to Alaska. In 2012, they walked to Saxman Village from the dock, which was about a 60-minute walk (3 miles).
