Driving the Alaska Canada Highway – Guide & Road Trip Planner

Kenin Bassart — Tue, 07 May 2013 21:25:03 +0000

If you’re planning on taking a drive to Alaska there are only a couple direct driving routes that will take you there. You can either drive the Cassiar Highway, which is a small mostly rural route, or drive the Alaska Canada Highway (aka the Al-Can), which is a slightly larger, slightly less rural route. :-) […]

Finding a dog friendly hotel gets to be very difficult when you travel to remote regions of the country. We were having a bit of trouble finding a dog friendly hotel while visiting Fairbanks, Alaska when a new friend of ours recommended Pike’s Waterfront Lodge. It turned out to be exactly what we were looking for: […]

Bald Eagles – America’s National Bird in Valdez, Alaska

Lauren Bassart — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 14:30:41 +0000

We traveled through the city of Valdez , Alaska and came across one of the most amazing sights I have ever seen in nature. While entering the city, after crossing through Thompson’s Pass, we came across hundreds of bald eagles nesting in trees and fishing in the streams. It was very easy to see why these […]

A Mooseberry Inn – The Bed and Breakfast that converted me :)

Lauren Bassart — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 12:00:34 +0000

A Mooseberry Inn in Tok, Alaska was the first bed and breakfast we have ever stayed in. Kenin and I traveled for many years and stayed in everything from a tent to the Ritz Carlton. Somehow, we managed to completely avoid B&Bs altogether. We always thought the idea of a B&B was a little odd. […]

All About Our Road Trip From Florida to Alaska

Kenin Bassart — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 00:18:36 +0000

When we told everyone that we were going to take a road trip from Florida to Alaska in a VW GTI, we received a rather mixed response. We heard everything from “Are you nuts!?!?” to “That’s epic! Take me with you!”. I have to admit that before (and during) our trip Lauren and I both […]

Why I Love Alaska – The Last Frontier

Lauren Bassart — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 14:00:40 +0000

When we first decided that we were going to make a cross-country trip to tour Alaska, we had one specific goal, drive the Dalton Highway! This was our second trip to The Last Frontier, but it was the first time we had spent any real time in the state. Our previous visit was when we traveled on […]

Great Drives: Alaska’s Dalton Highway Road Trip | Fairbanks to Deadhorse

Kenin Bassart — Fri, 02 Nov 2012 14:22:54 +0000

Driving on most American roads today is anything but a challenge. They are mostly smooth, well lit, and generally safe. Alaska’s Dalton Highway, which takes you from Fairbanks, Alaska to the town of Deadhorse, is 414 miles of the exact opposite! While portions are now paved, it began as a gravel road designed to bring […]

Florida to Alaska Update: Road Tripping Alaska’s Interior, Tok to Fairbanks

Kenin Bassart — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 16:56:48 +0000

We’ve spent the longest time in Alaska than we have in any other state this trip, but for very good reason. It makes up about 20% of the United State’s land mass. This state is HUGE! Considering that we made it up here we decided to spend some time touring the entirety of Alaska’s interior, […]
