I gathered from the sign that Ketchikan was a small enough to explore on our own because only small towns would build or put out signs as tourist attractions to draw crowds. We could have explored the whole town on our own in no time, but we already pre-booked a walking tour.

My recent hike through this renowned site was an experience that left an indelible mark on both my body and soul. The Adventure Begins As I started my hike, the crisp morning air filled my lungs, invigorating me for the journey ahead. The trail wound up the mesa, offering stunning vistas at every turn.
