The Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show
It's a short walk from the ship to the Lumberjack Sports Arena where Ketchikan celebrates its annual logging heritage Timber Carnival. Today it's the venue for the one-hour Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show extravaganza, where professionals battle it out in chopping, sawing, tree-climbing, axe-throwing, history-telling and more. Round up your rowdy friends and join in the Alaskan 'axe-tion' in this amazing competition of skill and strength. Alaska's frontier lumberjacks battle British Columbia's premier woodsmen in a no-holds-barred competition for the 'Bull of the Woods' title. These world-champion athletes wear spiked boots and hard hats, competing in 12 athletic events with seven-pound axes, six-foot razor sharp saws, tree climbing gaffs, and souped-up chainsaws. Your cheers will turn to roars of excitement as axes fly through the air, and men free-fall from tall trees and run atop spinning logs floating in the water. Meet the surviving lumberjacks after the show for photos! operates rain or shine in heated and covered grandstands, but may be cancelled by the operator in the event of extremely bad weather or unsuitable conditions.
