I was in Ketchikan for most of 2019, I decided to take some time and drive the complete distance on Tongass, North to South and back, let you know the notable places along the way.

Great video! Ketchikan seems like a fun place in the summer!
Thanks, Ketchikan is great in the summer, lots to see!
@@ShamFam Yeah! I hope you have more Alaska driving videos!
This was the best drive tour video that I've seen of Ketchikan. Been there twice on a cruise ship and did some shore tours but never went past Saxman going south and I don't think we've been to the north drive also. I really enjoyed it. Mahalo. As you can tell we're from Hawaii. We've been to the Saxman Heritage Totem Pole Center and walked through Creek St. and been to the Lumberjack show and bought a lot of souvenirs to bring back for family and friends.
Perfect drive around. Now I feel more prepared for my visit. I can't wait.
OMG!! A tuna 🐡 plant! @ 2:55. I would ❤️ to go there
Take me with you 😂
I was born in Ketchikan, and it's my deepest longing to come back home! Thank you for this video!!
Glad this brought back some memories for you, thanks for watching!
Born in Ketchikan January 66, looking to go back home myself.
Thank you! I served on a USCG buoy tender from the fall of 1974 to the spring of 1976. Your video brought back a lot of good memories. Tatsuda's IGA was the only grocery store in Ketchikan at that time. Gas cost around 45 cents/ gallon. There was virtually no tourism during my time there. Thanks again! I appreciate it!
Loved your video. It was great to see local sites like stores etc. not just tourist places.
Thanks for Watching, Glad you enjoyed it!
loved the video. lived in ketchikan 30 yrs ago.nice to see all the changes since I was there.
Thanks for watching Nida!
Thanks for the video...enjoyed my trip down memory lane...you changed my mood...lol
Thank you for sharing the video. I plan on visiting Ketchikan for a few days and driving around. I’m always nervous when renting a car and driving on roads I’m not familiar with. Your video helps me plan the trip a lot!
Hey Jay, glad to help, let us know how that trip turned out
You’ll love it
Great video keep up the great work. As a local i have to say you did get Just a few things wrong. Its South and North Tongass Hwy not Avenue. And most salmon that makes it to your dinner plate comes from further north in Alaska like Bristol bay, Cook inlet, Prince William Sound and so on. Other then the pronunciation of a few places are off but we see that as just funny. If you want to see the Lunch Creek falls in Settlers Cove (the water fall at the end of the road on the north side of the island) I will be adding a new video of it in the next few days.
Oh yes Highway not Ave, lol. I was looking for Sasquatches on some of the trails, couldn't find any, but I know they are out there. We did visit the falls in Settlers Cove several times and enjoyed the trails at the cove as well.
Thank you SO MUCH for this video! I'm probably moving to Ketchikan and it's nice to get a sneak peek. :)
Oh Exciting!! You'll have a great time, if you can get a place on the water or at least where you can see it, lots of things & trails to do. Check out my other Ketchikan Highlights video for more sights ruclips.net/video/RVOTi8IeFbI/видео.html

Hey Axel, thanks for taking the time to watch, it's appreciated!
Great bedtime video
Never fails me
super cool video. ive been all around this area (SE Alaska) on salmon boats but have never gotten comprehensive footage to show people
thanks, It's a great place to explore, wish I could of done more boating & fishing while we were there
Awesome I live in Metlakatla my Favorite spot is out by the Bears
Great Spot, My wife took a mail plane out to Metlakatla while we were there
Very useful! Thank you!
Thanks for Watching, Glad you found it helpful!
Sure has changed since the 70's.
I'm sure it has, thanks for watching
Would love to live there ❤
WOW!
I hope you will drive to Ward Lake. It's so beautiful there .
Yes it is! That is actually the background for the channel with two men fishing. Ward Lake is one of my favorite places to go
First swim, first Leach.
Thinking of moving there in a few weeks. My job just opened a permanent position and they are looking for applicants. Looks lovely. I'll be moving from the southern US though. Any tips?
It's a fun place with a lot to see, stay warm, bring some boots & rain gear, get a camera
Don't think you'll like it. Weather is not what you're use to. Did you ever move here?
@@sharonpreston2826 There will be trade offs. Weather is one.
Hi! Did you bring your car with you or you rented? Thanks
Hey Arthur, we rented a car from locals, not rental companies. Made connections while working there and we able to make some friends who let us rent their house & car at the same time. there are only a couple of actual rental "companies" on the island and they fill up fast and are a little pricey
Thanks. I need a friend like that.
your awsome from tommy i love ak .
Thanks Tommy!
Hi nice video 👏👏 nice music , PLZ SKAGWAY OR JUNEA ALASKA LOVE FROM 🇮🇩 INDONESIA
Thanks!
ketchikan had a great grocery store,tastudas,unfortunatly no more after landslide destroyed the building
Yes, I saw the pictures, I thought they had temporarily moved to a location within or by the mall, then C19 and everything, it was hard for them to make it through
Everyone mentions the dispensary, but not the fact it is inside a masonic lodge. lol
please give me a video in drive thru mcdonalds ?
Nice, but I will not give it five stars.
Is there a hospital with a maternity ward in Ketchikan?
Yes, there is only one hospital and one native clinic on the island. The hospital is PeaceHealth Ketchikan Medical Center, I worked there while we lived in Ketchikan. It's a great hospital and it does have a Labor and Delivery unit. Women from nearby islands come there to have their babies!
Yes and very good worked there for 8 years
I hear you have to have a natural birth here. That was 20 years ago now. Maybe that's changed.
