A short loop in Ketchikan guides people along a busy salmon stream and teaches them about the history of the famous fish.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A fish-themed, walkable path in Ketchikan just steps away from the cruise ship docks there now boasts additional accessibility and artistry, with new-and-improved features for wanderers — especially those wanting to learn more about one of Alaska ’s prime exports.
Ketchikan Mayor Dave Kiffer said the Salmon Walk gives residents and tourists alike another good option for exploring the small town. “And how important they are in the culture,” Troll said. “There’s also this beautiful story about the creation of salmon that the Tlingit people here have told for centuries. And there’s a totem pole that tells that story right ... There’s Fog Woman, who gave Salmon to Raven, who she married. And there’s another version of that story, in another totem pole in front of the heritage center. And then a 150-year-old totem pole inside, that shows the salmon.
