Ketchikan has several claims to fame: most standing totem poles in the world, Alaska's first city, or fifth largest city in the state... the latter is all the more impressive when you consider the population in 2010 was counted to be just shy of 15,000 residents. Oh, and the rain capital of Alaska -- it's often damp here. (We'll speak little of the now-dead project to build a bridge to connect the town to the airport, the fabled Bridge to Nowhere.)

A nearby park, complete with -- you guessed it -- one of the countless totem poles.
