Fishing scouts from Canada and America heard legendary tales of the Salmon catches and made their way here in 1885.

3 AN KETCHIK OF HISTORY For hundreds of years native Alaskans fished the waters of what is now Ketchikan, Alaska. They set up camp at the mouth of what the Tlingit Indians called, Kich-xaan: meaning wings of the eagle. Fishing scouts from Canada and America heard legendary tales of the Salmon catches and made their way here in The city of Ketchikan formally began in 1885 when Mike Martin bought 160 acres from Chief Kyan. By the mid-1890s, young Alaskan entrepreneurs had built a wharf in deep water. In the late 1890s, nearby gold and copper discoveries briefly brought activity to Ketchikan as a mining supply center. As the fishing industry grew the first cannery opened its doors in 1886 near the mouth of Ketchikan Creek. Four more were built by Now, over a century later, Ketchikan is known as the Salmon Capital of the World. In 1900, the first head count found 800 residents in Alaska s First City north of the Puget Sound. By 1936, seven canneries were in operation, producing 1.5 million cases of salmon a year. As the Salmon industry flourished, the need for lumber spawned a new boom industry in the area. The Ketchikan Spruce Mills opened in 1903, which operated for over 70 years. Spruce was in high demand during World War II, and Ketchikan became a supply center for area logging. The vibrant growth of the community, one dominated by male laborers, gave Ketchikan a measure of infamy during the first half of the 20th century for an infamous red-light district known as Creek Street, with brothels aligned on either side of the creek. With a current population of almost 15,000 residents, Ketchikan is Alaska s fifth largest city. Today Ketchikan remains a Salmon industry leader but also enjoys a thriving tourism economy. Ketchikan is home to the world s largest collection of standing totem poles. Great restaurants, quaint galleries and ample shopping make Ketchikan one of the most visited and enjoyed cruise ports in North America.

But in the 1950s, because of the vibrant growth of a community dominated by male laborers, Ketchikan became famous for its legendary red-light district known as Creek Street, with brothels aligned on either side of the creek. 4. The Salmon Falls Resort was originally built as a homestead in During construction the home was lost to a fire caused by a lightning strike. The entire structure was lost. The home was sold to Mr. Steve Seley, an Alaskan helicopter pilot, who built what is now the main lodge and two lodging buildings for the purposes of a developing private residences. He liked the property because he could land his helicopter on it. 5. Even though it s one of the most prolific areas for lumber, the resort is made of a Ponderosa Pine found in Utah mountains. The original owner did not want to wait for the local lumberman to supply his wood so he had the Ponderosa Pine trucked in. 6. Up until the 1980s, all of the lodge s electricity was generated by a water wheel at the falls. 7. The waters off Salmon Falls dock are the best prawn pot areas in the nation. 8.

The weather in Alaska can be unpredictable, with varying conditions mile to mile. Be sure to check the weather forecasts before leaving the Resort and always prepare for a variety of weather conditions. If you plan on hiking to areas of higher elevation, heavy fog and rain often decrease visibility and may create dangerous hiking conditions.

31 INFORMATION EMERGENCY WILDLIFE & BEAR SAFETY When hiking in the Ketchikan area, you are traveling in bear country. Revillagigedo Island is home to a wide variety of wildlife and a large population of black bears. Follow the etiquette below when travelling in bear country as these animals are extremely powerful and may be unpredictable. Travel in groups whenever possible or make noise when traveling alone. If you encounter a wild animal or a bear, make your presence known through verbal communication as well as hand motions. Slowly back away from the bear while maintaining eye contact. NEVER RUN from an approaching bear as this may prompt a predatory response. In mid to late summer, during the Pacific salmon spawn, bears congregate along streams and rivers. Take caution when traveling along these waterways, as the running water may mask your approach and lead to close encounters.
