The typical weather up here at this time of the year is low/mid 50's with a bunch of rain. Ketchikan typically gets around 12 feet of rain and had record rainfall of over 202 inches back in 1949. We've really lucked out weather wise this whole trip. One of the pictures below was from the pool deck yesterday afternoon. Looks more like the scene from a Caribbean cruise than Alaska. I tried to get Beth to take a picture of me in my speedo but she declined.
We've been to Ketchikan before and experienced the typical weather so we are extra grateful.
We did a nice hike using a trail we found on an app called "All Trails" that Sarah shared with us. We did the Rainbird Trail which has a trailhead close to downtown. Unfortunately "close" in this case was pretty much straight up hill to get to it but it was a great trail.
So thankful for this trip and so thankful for all the wonderful memories of times with my good friend Mike.
Could be a few days before you hear from me again on the blog. Once we're off the ship we rent a car and go to Tofino which is a coastal city near the Pacific Rim National Park on Vancouver Island.
Check it out if you get a chance:
