Travel
Ever tried to plan a vacation to Alaska, or just find something to do while you're here? With so much to do and see, it can be hard to choose. It can be even harder to wade through websites and comments trying to decide if a tour or location is worth the trip and expense.
The goal of this blog is to show you real, untouched photos of our travels and call out amazing opportunities you don't want to miss. Wondering if the train to Fairbanks is worth the 6 hours? Where to go in town for a great view if you don't have much time? If the trip to Seward is worth it?
