- Alaskan Road Trip 2023: On June 25th we arrived in Talkeetna, a cute little hippie town in the middle of Alaska where all of the mosquitos go for their summer vacations. If I was ever going to be stranded in Alaska, this is where I would want to be. Food, beer, beautiful scenery and art. I am proud to say I conquered the mosquitos in Talkeetna and am now knows as the Mosquito Master of Alaska. We also got to take a bush plane flight around Denali which was one of the highlights of our Alaskan adventure.

Really nice video! We visited Alaska in May 2023. We spent 3 nights in an AirBnB in Talkeetna. We took Talkeetna Air Taxi Grand Summit tour, and it was a beautiful weather day, so we were able to fly around the summit of Denali, Mt. Foraker, and Mt. Hunter, and then land on the Kahiltna glacier. We had to wear oxygen masks for part of the flight. Unfortunately some of the restaurants you featured are closed in May and don't open until June, so the dining options are limited then. The brewery and pizza spots were open, but I was disappointed we didn't get to try the famous spinach bread. We also got the chance to meet the Mayor, Aurora, when we were there and she was very friendly, accepting pets. Good luck with your channel!
We had requested to land on the glacier but the other couple in the plane with us wanted to pass so we did not. I attached a GoPro to the front pontoon of the plane and filmed the whole flight. There is a long version (90 min) and a short version (25 min) as part of our playlist if you want to relive the experience.

We was there about the same time you was last year. Cool little town. Had the best halibut tacos there. Nice video
Thanks Doug. I really loved Talkeetna but maybe because we got to do a bush plane flight around Denali. Where did you stay in Talkeetna? Our campground was back in the woods and full of mosquitos. We were ready to leave until I unboxed our Thermocell mosquito repellant and that was a gift from heaven. Once we got the hang of things we could sit outside by the fire and never be bothered!
@@BrkAwa we stayed just outside of anchorage at eagle River campground. We drove up and spent the day in that cool town. We used the thermo cells as well and they really helped. We also had those tennis racket bug zappers.
