As of 2021, I’ve been an Anchorage resident for 15 years and have done my fair share of exploring Alaska. But since the release of this blog in the spring of 2021, I am revisiting my favorite hikes and activities to share with you with new eyes- and new updated pictures. Thank you for your patience with this section as it continues to beefen up with the documenting of my fun explorations of the Last Frontier with my friends and family.
