✨Check out this amazing sunset!
Sunsets Around The World

The sky looked like it was on fire tonight. Moments like these remind us how truly blessed we are to spend another summer in Alaska. In July, the sun sets around 11 PM, giving us those long, magical evenings.

We hope to experience an Alaskan winter someday too. Fingers crossed, our cabin will be complete by next summer, and we’ll get to see the magic of this place in every season.
Thanks for following along on our journey!👏

I’d say this is not a bad spot to spend your summers, right?

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. We can say that the process was so easy and fast, and voila, the jelly turned out pretty delicious. 😋

‼️If you’d like us to send you the recipe we followed to make this delicious jelly, comment “FIREWEED” and I’ll DM you the exact steps! Sharing Alaska RVing to Alaska

📍Just south of Anchorage, the Seward Highway hugs the dramatic shorelines of Turnagain Arm, part of the Cook Inlet. It’s arguably one of the most beautiful stretches of highway in America.

✅Our whole visit was to witness the famous bore tide, but we only caught the tail end of it and didn’t get any picture-worthy shots, the experience was still amazing. Sharing Alaska RVing to Alaska

😲Did you know… the bore tide in Turnagain Arm can reach up to 6 feet high and travel at 10-15 miles per hour? It’s one of the largest in the world!

✔️ Make sure to check the schedule on the website to catch this natural phenomenon at its best.

🇺🇸‼️Today, we celebrate the 4th of July in Alaska in a different kind of way that only happens here in Alaska: The Last Frontier

📍Glacier View River Retreat Glacier View River Retreat near Anchorage hosts a one-of-a-kind event: launching cars, trucks, and RVs off a cliff, sending them plummeting 300 feet to their dramatic end.

✅Before 2005, the local community celebrated the summer holiday with a small parade and gathering. However, when the Matanuska River swelled and swallowed up the parade route, long-time festival organizer Arnie Hrncir decided to shake things up.
His wife’s Volvo had recently had a run-in with a moose and was no longer roadworthy. Inspired by necessity and innovation, Hrncir chose the Volvo to be the first airborne guinea pig.

➡️In addition to the car launches, the event is filled with festivities. There are food vendors offering Alaskan specialties, live music creating a lively atmosphere, and various games and activities for children. It’s a day of fun, excitement, and community, bringing people together to celebrate in a uniquely Alaskan way.

❓What do you think about launching cars off a cliff to celebrate the 4th of July? 🇺🇸 Crazy fun or just plain crazy? Let us know your thoughts!⤵️

Matanuska Glacier: A Bucket List Essential!Matanuska Glacier

📍Located just 2 hours northeast of Anchorage on the Glenn Highway (Mile 102), Matanuska Glacier is an absolute must-add to your travel bucket list.

➡️When we did the glacier tour, we stumbled upon it by chance. We were heading to Anchorage, saw the sign, and pulled over. We called to see when tours were available and, to our luck, had only 30 minutes until the next tour. It was so awesome!

✔️Tours depart daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, every hour. You can book the tours by calling ahead or visiting the tour office on-site.

🥾By the time we finished the tour(takes about 2-3hours) , it was pretty late. We asked if we could stay for the night, just us and the glacier next to us. It was an incredible experience, and I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience a glacier up close.

✅Fact: One really cool thing about Matanuska Glacier is that it’s a “piedmont glacier.” This means that instead of being squeezed between mountains, it spreads out.
This makes it much easier to walk on and explore. You get to see wide-open ice fields, deep crevasses, and even ice caves up close. It’s like stepping into a frozen wonderland, and it’s one of the reasons why a glacier tour here is so unique and unforgettable.

⛺️For RV camping, Matanuska Glacier State Recreational Park is just a mile down the road. It’s a beautiful park with a parking lot offering a stunning view of Matanuska glacier. We’ve stayed there twice this year already and highly recommend it! Thor Motor Coach

Alaska State Fair

➡️From GIANT VEGETABLES to thrilling rides, live entertainment, and mouthwatering fair food, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

📌Don’t miss the excitement of the Giant Cabbage Weigh-Off—a true highlight of the fair.
➡️The record? A colossal 138.25 pounds set by Robb back in 2012.
Pumpkins so big they need forklifts to weigh them!
➡️In 2019, Dale Marshall wowed everyone with a pumpkin tipping the scales at an incredible 2,051 pounds.
Note:Check the website for the exact dates of the contest!

…Ever wondered why Alaska’s veggies are so massive? It’s all about that midnight sun! During summer, Alaskan growers enjoy nearly 20 hours of sunlight daily. This extended sunshine boosts photosynthesis, resulting in veggies that are not only huge but also sweeter in taste.

📌Add this to your Alaska bucket list:

📍Hatcher Pass (3,886 ft or 1,148 m) is a mountain pass through the southwest part of the Talkeetna Mountains, Alaska. Located about 50 miles northeast of Anchorage. Hatcher Pass, Alaska

The main attraction of Hatcher Pass is 272-acre Independence Mine State Historical Park, a huge, abandoned gold mine.
Within the beautiful bowl-shaped valley of the park are the remains of 16 buildings that were built in the 1930s by the Alaska-Pacific Mining Company. You can explore the mining museum and even take underground mine tours.

Hatcher Pass has plenty of hiking and backpacking options, but during our visit, the cold, rainy weather kept us from hitting the trails. Instead, we stuck to exploring the shorter trails and checking out the mines.

❓Have you explored Hatcher Pass yet? If not, is it on your list of places to visit? Share your travel plans with us in the comments—we’d love to hear about your adventures!

Celebrating the Solstice Festival in Fairbanks! 🌞
Explore Fairbanks Alaska

✔️This past weekend, we experienced the magic of the Solstice Festival in Fairbanks, Alaska. The summer solstice holds a special place in Alaskan hearts, marking the longest day of the year with nearly 24 hours of daylight. Solstice Festival

The festivities kicked off with the legendary Midnight Sun Baseball Game, a tradition dating back to 1906, where players compete under the natural light of the midnight sun. The following day, the festival continued with activities, featuring vendors, food trucks, live music, and a vibrant atmosphere.

While exploring the festival, we discovered
📌Duke’s Sweets & Treats and couldn’t resist trying their liquor-infused Tipsy Scoop ice cream!🤗 Tipsy Scoop Duke's Sweets & Treats
From Tequila to Margaritas to Sangria, these boozy treats are the perfect way to cool off.
Shaun grabbed the Tequila flavor, while our friend enjoyed the Mango Margarita.
Both were absolutely delicious! What better way to cool off than with a scoop of boozy ice cream? 😂

➡️If you’re in Alaska this summer, don’t miss out on Duke’s Sweets & Treats. They have a location in Wasilla, so you can enjoy their unique treats even outside of the festival. Trust us, you won’t be disappointed!

❓What did you think of the infused ice cream? Have you had it before? Let us know in the comments!⤵️

This weekend, we headed to📍Denali National Park, one of my absolute favorite places in Alaska. And of course, we couldn’t resist taking the scenic route via Denali Highway. The views along this road are absolutely breathtaking and totally worth the detour.

We found endless boondocking spots along the way and made the most of our Jeep setup with the iKamper. It’s just perfect for discovering the most amazing spots with incredible views.
