Saxman Totem Park, Ketchikan, Inside Passage, Alaska #3384

Ketchikan is widely recognized as having the largest collection of standing totem poles in the world. The best place to see these totems is in the two outstanding outdoor totem parks: Saxman Totem Park and Totem Bight Historical Park. I usually find myself mostly alone in the parks, enjoying the peaceful space in the early mornings or late afternoons. But on this day, I was greeted by this group of kids and adults playing, running around and having a blast at Saxman Totem Park. This image is the July image in my Alaska 2026 calendar. The calendar is available for purchase in Juneau-area stores and at markkelley.com. Have a wonderful holiday season. Mark (Camera…Nikon Body 850: Lens 24-70mm)
