For many visitors, the Rainbird trail is most easily accessed from the Third Avenue trailhead, closer to the cruise ship docks. However, if you have a rental car, this parking area at the University of Alaska Southeast makes a convenient starting place — or a turnaround spot, if you started running back on Third Avenue.

The trail is difficult to walk when it's wet. There are a few places where it's not really worth doing for a view

For many visitors, the Rainbird trail is most easily accessed from the Third Avenue trailhead, closer to the cruise ship docks. However, if you have a rental car, this parking area at the University of Alaska Southeast makes a convenient starting place — or a turnaround spot, if you started hiking back on Third Avenue. If you decide you don't want to hike all the way back, you can even call a taxi to pick you up here.

Although some maps might show this section of trail as the Rainbow Trail, the Forest Service officially designates it as part of the Rainbird Trail, which is ultimately accessible from three different trailheads. This trail is characterized by sections of boardwalk, old logging road, and even a few sets of steep stairs. Keep an eye out for ravens and bald eagles, which you might see soaring overhead or roosting in trees near the trail.

The Cape Fox Lodge is one of the finest hotels in Ketchikan, owned by one of the local Alaska Native corporations. Even if you're not staying there, take a moment to step inside and visit both the gift shop and the mini-museum for a glimpse of truly fine, authentic Alaska Native artwork. The lodge windows also offer remarkable vistas overlooking Ketchikan and the water beyond.

A salmon ladder is essentially an artificial waterfall, created to help fish travel farther upstream in a waterway that no longer has its natural contours. The salmon are most plentiful here in July and August. If you arrive much earlier or later than that, you may not get to see many, if any, salmon flinging themselves up the "ladder".

Not too long ago, Creek Street was a red light district and this "Married Man's Trail" served as a quick escape route for men who didn't want to be caught in one of the brothels along the creek. Nowadays, it is a pleasant tree-shaded shortcut between the stunning Cape Fox Lodge at the top of the hill and Creek Street below. Sometimes the lodge also offers a funicular tram ride up (or down) the hill. It costs only a few dollars but isn't always open. Contact the lodge for details. https://capefoxlodge.com/

Very geared towards the standard souvenirs of cruise tourists. Pretty, but rather cheesy.
