The Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show
This is a terrific excursion that the whole family will enjoy. Watch Alaska’s frontier lumberjacks battle British Columbia’s premier woodsmen in a no-holds-barred competition for the title of Bull of the Woods.
Ketchikan, which has a rich logging history, is home to this fun event. World champion athletes are featured in springboard chopping, buck sawing, axe throwing, log rolling and a tree climb ending in a 50 foot free fall. Your host will keep the crowds happy with stories of lumberjack lore.
The show is located only a short walk from the pier which makes it an easy excursion for everyone to enjoy.
