Denali Highway to Valdez
There are only a few highways in Alaska and Denali Highway, leading from Denali National Park / Cantwell to Paxson, is probably the prettiest one. “The Denali Highway is certainly one of the most spectacular drives in the world. Much of the route lies above timberline, so the vistas go on forever. The mountains and glaciers of the Alaska Range form a majestic backdrop, with miles of rolling tundra punctuated by shallow lakes in between.”
Denali National Park / Omne trium perfectum
Oh, the excitement to visit this national park was big. But could it really impress me after all the amazing national parks we had just visited in Canada and Alaska? The short answer is: yes it could. Not just that, I got really really lucky. Three times. 😻
Richardson Hwy 3/3, Fairbanks and cabin experience #3
After a night from 30C to 0C, I continued north on Richardson Highway.
Richardson Highway 2/3 / Cabin experience #2
After a lovely lunch and finally seeing a moose – not a real one – I continued north towards Fairbanks- going through a lot of remote wilderness and subsistence hunting area.
Bye bye Kenai Peninsula, hello Richardson Hwy 1/3 & Cabin experience #1
We left Soldotna and Kenai Peninsula and drove towards Anchorage. This is where I dropped Ilce off. The next two weeks, I’ll be exploring on my own. 🤩
Browns Lake kayaking and deluxe RV shenanigans
We stayed in a super fancy RV for two days close to Soldotna in a nature reserve area next to Browns lake.
Trip to Seldovia – dreamy village across Kachemak Bay where time stands still
Seldovia is a little non-touristic village – a secret- about 45 min across from Homer and kachemak bay. It’s the cutest little village. My highlight was seeing once almost extinct wild sea otters:
Homer, Kachemak Bay and Grace Ridge Trail
After that amazing night, I’ll never forget at the campground with little sleep we drove to Homer – Halibut Fishing Capitol of the world, a recent Olympic gold medalist birthplace and one of the most iconic cities in Alaska.
