Ketchikan was our first port on our cruise. It was a cute, quaint little town with lots of shops and a beautiful river running through it. Fortunately for us, the salmon were running and it was so cool watching them swim upstream from the ocean and leap up the falls to get to their spawning grounds. We could even see them leaping out in the ocean as they were getting ready to make their journey. Unfortunately some didn't make it, and we saw evidence of that along the way, as well. Tom and Sara even saw a black bear come and do some fishing while they were at the river.
We had a super tasty lunch at the Alaska Fish House of Halibut, Salmon, and Cod that was probably my favorite thing I ate on the whole trip. We also saw harbor seals swimming around the boat in the harbor. It was a great first stop!
