Wow-talk about over-the-top. Start with a glorious day in Ketchikan (locals tell me it’s like this every day! HA!). Add one of Taquan Air‘s Beaver floatplanes. Then, throw in an all-you-can-eat crab feast in a glorious lodge setting at George Inlet Lodge. See the results in this short video!

Most folks passing through Ketchikan do so on a  cruise ship. That’s fine–because many of them vow to return again and spend some time exploring Alaska’s Gateway City.
