What a great photo of the Northern Lights taken at Eagle River. Another reason to visit Alaska in the fall.

From last Sunday night in Eagle River, Alaska. I had to hike a mile to catch this shot around 1am. Enjoy!

My friend's cabin in the wilderness and his faithful dog hauling planks though the snow, represents everything so special about Alaska. If you haven't been before, make 2023 the year to visit the Last Frontier.

A very special date in time!

Happy Alaska Day!

Alaska Day is a legal holiday in the state of Alaska, observed on October 18th. It is the anniversary of the formal transfer of the Territory of Alaska from Russia to the United States, which occurred on Friday, October 18, 1867. 🇺🇸

I love Alaska! I can’t imagine living anywhere else. ❤️

McCarthy in the Wrangle-St. Elais National Park is a hidden gem in Alaska. To experience a Northern Lights show such as this one whilst there, makes it even more special. Great photo Allan Long.

Spent three days down in McCarthy with the hopes of catching the Northern Lights over Kennecott Mine. On September 6th, I stood up at the mine from 10:30ish until 4:30 in the morning. The lights showed up around 2:30 and were on and off the rest of the night. It was the only day I had clear skies. The rest of the time it was socked in with clouds and rain. Hope you enjoy!

If you’re into surfing try catching a wave at Turnagain Arm in Alaska.

One of the largest bore tides in the world is located just a few miles from us and is very popular with surfers and spectators alike!

If you are travelling in Alaska mid August I recommend heading down to Alyeska Resort (40 minutes drive south of Anchorage) for the Blueberry Festival.

After a two year hiatus, our signature Blueberry Festival is back in 2022! Join us on August 13 & 14 for live music, beer and wine garden, artisan vendors, pie eating contests, and of course, blueberry picking! More details to come.

If your itinerary includes visiting Talkeetna, which it should, take a flight with these great pilots. I recommend a landing at Denali base camp, you wont forget the experience.

A photo taken by one of our pilots today. Foraker, Hunter, and Denali ~peak~ing out above the clouds. You never know what those ☁️ could be hiding!

When driving along Turnagain Arm make sure you take time to stop and look for Beluga Whales. One of the best drives in Alaska.

Anchorage city limit is Portage. I mean Wow! These cars parked along the highway are for the spring Hooligan fishing 🎣 on the Turnagain Arm which also means Beluga whales will be seen chasing the Hooligan.

This is what you can catch just a few minutes stroll from Anchorage! Ship Creek is a favorite local fishing and shorebird-viewing spot near downtown Anchorage.
Lying entirely within the limits of the Municipality of Anchorage, this Alaskan river flows from the Chugach Mountains into the Cook Inlet.

Big Smiles & Big Chrome!

That’s what we’re getting excited about.

6 weeks out and counting down!

Fish On!

Mt Drum in the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park. The drive is stunning!

One in five Alaskans has a pilot’s license so fishing on a beautiful secluded lake is the norm!

Doesn't get much more Alaskan than this!

This is what Alaska is all about. Make it your post COVID destination and you will be amazed at what you will experience and see!

Here is not only a quintessential Alaska photo but as photographer Jeff Schultz calls it: “A once in a lifetime opportunity." Jeff says, “To see this herd of caribou walking up the ridge line far above tree line looking for food was a jaw-dropping experience. And to have the Wrangell Saint Elias Mountains in the background was icing on the cake." This image was made with a Canon 1DX Mark II camera and a 70-200mm lens at 170mm at 1/4000th second f/9 at ISO 500 handheld.

Denali meaning the Great One to Alaskan Natives, is the highest mountain in North America. Flying up to & landing on a glacier at base camp gives you an appreciation of this spectacular mountain range.
