What else could you do when you come across a field of fireweed? Make fireweed jelly, of course! 🍯🤗 So we decided to give it a try with a small batch first to see how it turns out.

Don’t miss this! ⬇️ ✅These are some of our favorite glacier hikes in Alaska. Because when you’re in Alaska, you just have to experience a glacier up close, right? Travel Alaska 📍 Portage Glacier is approximately 50 miles south of Anchorage. Getting to Portage Glacier is quite the adventure! You’ll head through Whittier, where you’ll drive along a one-car train lane. It’s a unique experience that adds to the fun of reaching the glacier. 📍 Byron Glacier is a fantastic addition to your itinerary since it’s relatively close to Portage Glacier. So, make sure you give yourself time to explore both and fully immerse yourself in the beauty of these incredible natural wonders. 📍Exit Glacier: No Alaska trip is complete without visiting Exit Glacier! We ventured there on our own, 125 miles south of Anchorage, soaking in the raw beauty of Kenai Fjords National Park. 📍Matanuska Glacier : Our only guided tour was to Matanuska Glacier, and it was worth every moment! Journey 100 miles northeast of Anchorage for an unforgettable glacier adventure this summer. 📍 Root Glacier: Is a real gem, but getting there adds an extra layer of adventure! To reach it, you’ll need to take the iconic and super remote McCarthy Road, which winds its way about 60 miles from the town of Chitina to McCarthy, the gateway to Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. But don’t let the distance fool you – this road can take 2-3 hours to navigate due to its rugged terrain. It’s not the easiest drive, especially for large vehicles. However, once you arrive, you’ll be rewarded with stunning views and an unforgettable glacier hike! 📌Share this with a friend who might find it helpful for their Alaska adventure this summer! ❓Now, the big question is: which one would you tackle first?

📢Hey there, friends! Wondering why we made an early arrival in Alaska? Last year, while in Alaska, we stumbled upon a promising little place and decided to take the leap and purchase it. But honestly, it all happened so fast! Before we knew it, we were knee-deep in clearing out the mess— trailers loads of junk! Despite the chaos, there was an excitement in the air—a sense of possibility and potential for what this place could become. Now that we’re back in Alaska, the changes we’ve seen in just two weeks are mind-blowing. It’s been a whirlwind of hard work determination and dreaming. But seeing the transformation of our cabin fills us with pride and excitement. There’s still a lot to do, but we’re feeling hopeful and proud of what we’ve accomplished so far. It’s been quite the adventure, and we can’t wait to share it with everyone. While it might not be fully ready this year, we’re aiming for next year to open up our FreedomAdrift Cabin to the world. Stay tuned for updates! ❓Share your thoughts below and let us know what you’d love to see at our FreedomAdrift Cabin next year!

Most visitors dream of seeing bears in Alaska, and who can blame them?While you’re likely to encounter bears during your visit, 📍Haines Alaska might just guarantee your sightings!

📢Welcome to Swan Haven, one of Yukon’s incredible natural wonders!✅Each spring, Swan Haven (located on M’Clintock Bay on Marsh Lake) hosts a spring spectacle of migrating swans embarking on their journey northward!👀We’ve heard of this place somewhere, could have been that we read it in the Milepost but never got a chance to witness it in the past!

📢Don’t miss this iconic stop at Watson Lake’s Sign Post Forest in Yukon, Canada!📍Located at KM marker 980 on the Alaska Highway, this legendary site has been attracting visitors since 1942.‼️👀We first heard about this gem from Marc and Tricia from Keep Your Daydream back in 2022 during our first trip to Alaska. Not to brag, but we even made a brief appearance in one of their episodes, where they mentioned, "You two have fun in Alaska and don't forget Watson Lake!”✅The Sign Post Forest began when U.S. soldier Carl K. Lindley, recovering from an injury, was asked to repair and erect directional signposts during the construction of the Alaska Highway. Lindley added a sign pointing to his hometown of Danville, Illinois, sparking a tradition that grew into a full “Forest.” Today, it boasts close to 100,000 signs from all over the world, including license plates, road signs, and handmade plaques.So, leave your mark today and become a part of this unique piece of history! ✅Make sure to bring your own sign to add to the collection. ❓Share in the comments: What sign would you add to the Sign Post Forest?

‼️Brace yourselves for a tale that’ll make you wiggle your toes! My husband took ON the ultimate dare: the legendary Sourtoe Shot! 🥃🦶 🎬The real story behind the Sourtoe Cocktail dates back to the early 1970s in Dawson City, Yukon, Canada. Legend has it that a rum-runner named Captain Dick Stevenson found a severed human toe preserved in a jar of alcohol in an abandoned cabin. In an attempt to start a unique tradition, he began serving drinks garnished with the toe at the Downtown Hotel’s Sourdough Saloon. Fast forward to today, tourists from far and wide make the pilgrimage just for a chance to join the Sourtoe Cocktail Club. 🌎 Whether it’s for the thrill, the bragging rights, or a touch of good luck, one thing’s for sure – it’s a toe-tally unforgettable experience! 👀 👀To keep the Sourtoe Cocktail tradition alive, brave souls generously donate their toes, ensuring that each sip of the unique cocktail comes with a toe-tally unforgettable experience. “You can drink it fast, you can drink it slow, but your lips must touch the toe.” Think you’ve got what it takes to toe the line and join the Sourtoe Cocktail Club? 👀 Drop a 🦶 in the comments if you’re up for the challenge! Who’s ready to join in the fun and raise a glass (and maybe a toe) with us? @followers Follow our adventures FreedomAdrift
