Salmon Falls Resort
Ketchikan, AK, USA
Become One with Nature
Kichx̱áan—“Thundering Wings of an Eagle”—is one meaning of Ketchikan in modern Tlingit, reflecting a deep connection between the land, its people, and the natural world. At Salmon Falls, that connection is immediate and emotional, as guests encounter the raw beauty of Alaska in a way that transforms and inspires.
The art collection responds to this experience, drawing from the surrounding wilderness, local heritage, and the spirit of place. Each work invites reflection, honoring the stories, rhythms, and wonder that define this extraordinary landscape.
Local Focus
Sailing, fishing, and hiking bring out the explorer in us. At Salmon Falls, these pursuits draw guests closer to the grandeur of nature and foster a deeper connection to self and surroundings.
Reflecting this spirit, several artworks in the collection depict people fishing for local species such as Coho, Rockfish, Lingcod, and Chinook. These scenes not only celebrate the area’s rich marine life, but also honor fishing as a cherished activity that links visitors to the rhythms of the land and the traditions of Southeast Alaska.
