It’s the fourth largest city in Alaska and the salmon-fishing capital of the world. But don’t throw your rod and reel into the SUV too quickly; Ketchikan is on an island, one of hundreds dotting Alaska’s Inland Passage. From the plane or boat that delivers you here, you may see the forests and bays of Misty Fjords National Monument, maybe a cruise ship, or a totem pole on a remote island shore. If your timing’s right, you might even go home with a king salmon in your cooler.
