Saxman Villiage Ketchikan

We took a hotel shuttle, a free downtown bus and a city bus a couple miles from the downtown area to see the Saxman Historic Totem Park. It is an area where the have erected many Totem Poles from the area and there is a building where local Totem carvers continue to carve Totem Poles today. The tour person said that it may cost up to $4-5,000 a foot for a master carver to carve a pole for sale and take up to a week per foot to carve, depending on the detail.
