We are so excited to be in Denali National Park! We have looked forward to this visit for a very long time, so when planning the trip we decided to book several nights in two different campgrounds in order to get a good feel for the different areas of the park. This post will chronical …
We spent the last few days along the Steese Highway. This is Alaska Highway 6 that travels northeast from Fairbanks and ends at the town of Circle. There are both paved and gravel portions of this road. We only traveled as far as Twelve Mile Summit, which is about halfway, but we found the portion …
We have spent the last three nights at Chena Hot Springs Resort, north-east of Fairbanks. This place is a very eclectic mix of historic, natural, and man-made treasures. There are such a wide variety of activities and attractions that everyone is sure to find something they will enjoy. Let’s start with the activities we enjoyed …
We have had a very full few days in Fairbanks, AK! Normally, we don’t spend a ton of time in cities. We usually prefer to be in more remote and natural areas, but when you come all the way to Alaska, it pays to see as much as you can, even the cities. It has …

We made it! We spent the day today traveling the Alaska Highway from Dawson Creek, BC to Fort Nelson, BC! We have had some amazing experiences over the last few months and wouldn’t trade any of them, but the summer in Alaska has always been the goal for our year of travel and it feels …
After saying goodbye to Don and Kelly yesterday, we made a quick stop at the Canadian Tire in town to dump our tanks and do a little shopping. We had never been to Canadian Tire and we wanted to check it out anyway, and a free dump station is always a nice perk! From …
