Creator's Key Takeaways

We tried reindeer sausage. We tried a salmon donut. Yes, that's a real thing. We tried a beer made from actual Alaskan tree tips.

I think Ketchacan is my personal favorite. It is so freaking cute. I love the vibes here.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If visiting Juneau, go slightly outside of town to Tracy's Crab Shack for shorter lines.
When visiting Skagway, look for the false facades on the gold rush storefronts.
In Juneau, look up on street lights to spot bald eagles.
