Meet Your Guides
Hi 👋 We're Jonathan & Kelly!
Seeing Alaska's national parks was one of our biggest travel dreams. When we finally made it happen, it became the adventure of a lifetime.
Over three unforgettable weeks, we flew in bush planes, watched grizzly bears fish for salmon, kayaked beside glaciers, went white water rafting and ice climbing, drove some of America's most remote highways, and came home with stories we'll tell for the rest of our lives.
Here, you'll find the guides, itineraries, planning tips, and lessons we learned during our Great Alaskan Road Trip.
Travel Guide
Are Alaska national parks on your bucket list?
The internet is full of Alaska advice. The challenge isn't finding information, but knowing how to piece it all together. Alaska is one of the least forgiving places to realize your itinerary doesn't work after you've already arrived.
That's why we created the Alaska Travel Guide. After traveling to Alaska’s 8 national parks ourselves, we put everything we learned into one place to help you plan with confidence and prepare for the trip of a lifetime.
Includes the exact 21-day itinerary we created and used to visit all 8 Alaska national parks in one trip. This itinerary is only available here.
Alaska Diaries
Before our Alaska trip, Kelly watched as many episodes of Alone as she could. Not to learn survival skills, but because she wanted to become more familiar with the kind of remote wilderness and wildlife she imagined we'd encounter, making Alaska feel a little less intimidating before getting on a plane.
Alaska Diaries is our way of helping you do the same.
Alaska Diaries is an immersive travel e-book that helps you experience Alaska before you go, with stories from all eight national parks.
Along the way, you'll:
🐻 Camp with grizzly bears at Brooks Camp
✈️ Fly on bush planes into Gates of the Arctic and Kobuk Valley
🛻 Drive remote highways like the Dalton Highway and McCarthy Road
🥾 Experience every adventure, challenge, and unforgettable moment from our 21-day Great Alaskan Road Trip
