Day 17 - Driving to Denali
Glenn Highway & Denali Highway
Day 16 - Thunder Bird Falls
Since we used most of our day 16 to get everything ready for our road trip to Denali we didn't have time to do big excursions. Instead we went to the Thunder Bird Falls that are fairly close by Eagle River. The area is located in the Chugach State Park… Read more
Day 15 - Downtown Anchorage
Since we have already travelled all over the place but hadn't really been to Anchorage itself, we decided that would be on our schedule for today. So we went downtown to see the city. It turned out that even though Anchorage might be quite big, and is… Read more
Day 15 - Visiting Anchorage Downtow (1 new item)
Anchorage Downtown
Day 13 & 14 - Weekend
This weekend we didn't do very much, but instead used the time to regenerate and plan our next trip. Next week we'll be going up to Denali National Park where we'll hopefully get to see Mt. McKinley and a lot of other beautiful landscape. Maybe even some… Read more
Day 12 - The Eagle River Nature Center
For our first day back in Eagle River we wanted to do something, but somewhere in the area, so we drove out to the Eagle River Nature Center. They have a bunch of nice hiking trails out there where we planned to spend our day. Since it was cloudy and we… Read more
Day 15 - Visiting Anchorage Downtow
Anchorage Downtown
Day 11 - Puffins, Exit Glacier and more clouds
Even though it had rained hard all night, in the morning it started to clear up and we did even see a bit of blue sky for a while. Since the weather conditions didn't seem stable we decided to go for a indoor-activity today. Therefore we visited the… Read more
Day 10 - From Homer to Seward
Day 10 started with a lot of rain at night, which made packing up the tent much harder than hoped for. The rain kept pouring down while we travelled up the Sterling Highway towards Kenai, where we intended to do a short surprise-stop to visit some… Read more
Day 9 - Homer
After a nice breakfast with Bagels and Cream Cheese we walked out to the Homer Spit. The view from the top of that short strip of land was incredible, since we basically had a 360° view around Kachemak Bay. The weather was OK, it wasn't very cold and it… Read more
Day 8 - The Kenai Peninsula
The start of our second week in Alaska also marked the beginning of our second road trip. This time we're not going up into interior Alaska, but rather down south to visit the Kenai Peninsula. With a pop-up trailer attached to the huge car we started our… Read more
Day 7 - Eagle River
On Sunday we joined our host family at church and used to rest of the day for regeneration ;) That meant some raspberry-picking and a lot of doing nothing. We did take a walk through Eaglewood though, that is the neighborhood around where we're staying… Read more
Day 6 - Trip back to Eagle River
Our day #6 in Alaska started really early as we wanted to go pick blueberries again before we had to leave Tok. We got up at 5 o'clock to do so, and after about one and a half hours of picking we ended up having a whole bucket of blueberries that we got… Read more
Day 4 - Shen
A trip to Shen, including seeing Moose, watching the Ice Cream Drop, and collecting Blueberries
