It snowed for the first day on the Dalton highway Project I’m on, which means we are one step closer to ski season. Whoop whoop!! The pictures here from my first ski trip last season with bgrams66 Thompson pass October 21st (2022). We got one amazing day skiing the back slope of catchers mitt , and another heinous wind blown day on an attempt of the catchers mitt couloir. All in all this trip was an adventurous start to the 2022-2023 season. Repeat bgrams66? #alaska #fyp #thompsonpass #skiing #backcountry #getoutside #natureisneat #jerry

Katmai National Park just blew my mind 🤯
I’ve been eyeing this trip for over a year now and planning it for 6 months. And then the salmon run was super late this year and we were worried there wouldn’t be any bears there. But fi0rella_isla_galvez and I decided to go for it and spent the last 3 days in Katmai. And we had the BEST TIME EVER! Seriously, it’s in the top 3 trips of my life and contender for 1st!
We arrived at Brooks Camp Friday and in the first few hours we saw 20 bears including tiny cubs! On Saturday we hiked through volcanic ash in the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes (pics coming soon!) and then did more bear watching until 11 PM. And then on Sunday afternoon the salmon finally started jumping at Brooks Falls and bears were catching salmon in the falls! I saw everything on my dream Katmai list and more. I know Instagram is all about pretending trips are perfect and life is just sunshine and rainbows, but this trip really was sunshine and rainbows (and BEARS).
I was so overwhelmed with the beautiful views, the sheer amount of bears, the fun “adult summer camp” vibes of Brooks Camp and Brooks Lodge, and the excitement when a bear finally caught a salmon. My mouth was hanging open from shock so much that I kept eating bugs! It was absolutely amazing and I can’t recommend it enough. I’m definitely going back in the future. Enjoy 10 of my favorite pictures of bears and look for a bunch more posts about Katmai including a tour of Brooks Camp and info on planning this trip!

The northern lights have been out quite frequently so far this season. Of course, the weather is a factor of whether or not you will see them. The morning I'm writing this message, Anchorage is engulfed with rain with a flood watch for a stream that runs through town.
Recent nights with clear skies have had great displays. There have been lots of night light pics on social media from Talkeetna, Denali, and the Fairbanks area.
If you're traveling to Alaska hoping to see the northern lights, we'd encourage you to download load an aurora forecast app. I use a the free version of a popular app but there are paid features that provide alerts for those who want the concierge service out of the app.

Here's to hoping for a dark winter with lots of aurora.

The secret’s out. As you’ll see in this preview of coming attractions, autumn just might be the prettiest season in Alaska. Yellow leaves and blue ice create a stunning combination you’ll never forget, but you need to plan ahead and act fast - the season is short and if you blink you’ll miss it.
Colors are at their prime in September, long before fall colors begin in the lower regions of North America. The best way to see Alaska’s autumn spectacle is from the air, that’s our very biased opinion. No matter how you see it, it’s an adventure for the eyes and soul.
