And if we have anything up here, it’s activities! • Pack lightweight shirts you can layer under sweaters and jackets. Light wool and polyester fleece are good choices for outer layers. • Your comfortable pants are welcome anywhere and on warm days a pair of shorts will feel just right. But be prepared for a maritime climate and a rain forest setting; we recommend you bring a water-resistant coat with a hood and sturdy, waterproof shoes. • Lightweight gloves and rain gear may be needed for hikes and saltwater excursions. Sunglasses and sunscreen are recommended for our long summer days, especially if you’ll be on the water. • If you’re prone to motion sickness, see a physician before your trip. 4 Before you visit, learn more about what makes our community a place like no place else.

We’re the portal to a number of inviting neighbor communities. Read on for highlights of some unique neighbors and information to help you plan an extended stay. Prince of Wales Island West of Ketchikan lies the third-largest island in the United States. Prince of Wales Island (often shortened to “P.O.W.”in local usage) is home to several thousand residents in communities with populations that range from 50 to 1,500. The island is a prime destination for sportfishing enthusiasts and provides outstanding opportunities for camping, hunting and hiking—linked by hundreds of miles of road, the longest system in Southeast Alaska. Totem poles and other Alaska Native artwork are featured in several towns. FYI Prince of Wales Chamber of Commerce www.princeofwalescoc.org • (907) 755-2626 36 Scheduled floatplanes and ferries link Ketchikan to Prince of Wales Island, where visitors can see historic, hard-working fishing and timbering towns. Recreational opportunities run the length of America’s third-largest island. Visitors and residents run 26 miles of shoreline on Memorial Day weekend in the Prince of Wales Island International Marathon, a scenic, sanctioned race. FYI Southeast Alaska’s island communities are linked by three ferry operations. Green vessels of the InterIsland Ferry Authority link Ketchikan to Hollis on Prince of Wales Island. Rainforest Islands Ferry connects Coffman Cove on P.O.W. to Wrangell and Petersburg, which are, like Ketchikan and Metlakatla, ports of the Alaska Marine Highway. Visitors are invited to book tours in El Capitan Cave, managed by the U.S. Forest Service—largest of 500 caves on the island. Hydaburg, Kasaan and Klawock are home to many Alaska Natives of Tlingit and Haida descent. Remarkable totem pole parks stand in Klawock, Hydaburg and Kasaan. Inter-Island Ferry Authority (IFA) provides daily passage between Ketchikan and Hollis, on the east side of P.O.W. Rainforest Islands Ferry links Coffman Cove, on the northwest side, to Wrangell and Petersburg farther north in the Panhandle. Local commuter air carriers connect Ketchikan to Prince of Wales Island with scheduled daily service.
