Understanding Unalaska / Dutch Harbor
The best way to understand Dutch Harbor isn't from a guidebook—it's from someone who has spent a lifetime living there. Dennis and Lynda took me beyond the familiar landmarks to explore World War II history, hidden military sites, local stories, volcanic landscapes, and the geological forces that continue to shape Unalaska today.
Teslin, YT
A quiet drive from Watson Lake to Teslin turned into one of the most interesting days of the trip. From seeing my first wild caribou to learning about WWII aviation history, Indigenous culture, and life in remote Yukon communities, Teslin revealed far more depth and history than I expected.
Signpost Forest
I arrived in Watson Lake, Yukon without realizing how much history was packed into one small stop along the Alaska Highway. From the massive Sign Post Forest and the Northern Lights Centre to the wartime history of the Alaska Highway and a quiet walk through the local cemetery, the day turned into something far more interesting and reflective than I expected.
