I follow the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center on social media, so I knew it was a location I wanted to visit while we were in Alaska. We were closest to the center when we were in Anchorage, so we booked tickets and went on a beautiful Saturday.

1 Week In Wasilla, AK: Musk Ox, Excellent Beer, Amazing Views, Iditarod Sled Dogs & More
After a couple of great days in Healy to visit Denali National Park, we headed 3.5 hours south to Wasilla. Wasilla is a city 45 minutes north of Anchorage where we'd be staying after Wasilla, so it might seem pointless staying in both places seeing as it's a relatively short … [Read more...] about 1 Week In Wasilla, AK: Musk Ox, Excellent Beer, Amazing Views, Iditarod Sled Dogs & More

Chicken is a 45 minute drive west of the US/Canada border and ~5 hours east of Fairbanks. The … [Read more...] about An Egg-Citing Stop In Chicken, Alaska
