A Day of Wonder Featuring Alaska Wildland Adventures, Turkish Delight, Maria’s Creekside Inn

9/11/2023

Last month I had the unbelievable opportunity to visit Alaska for the first time, and it was well beyond what I imagined it would be. It’s so beautiful, rugged, wild, mystical and magical, and I loved every moment exploring the wilderness, the mountains, the fjords, rivers, and parks. I arrived off the plane, gathered my luggage and set out in a rental car. My first stop was the Turnagain Arm before heading to my accommodation on Kenai Peninsula. The summer light was long, allowing for a mere 3 hours of night, but it really wasn’t all that dark, so I took advantage of as much sightseeing as my tired eyes could handle. From there, I spent the next couple of days exploring Seward and Homer, taking two cruises through the fjords, which was definitely the highlight of the entire trip.

Alaska has been at the top of my destination wish list for as long as I can remember. I always thought perhaps I’d never make it there, because it was a little far, rather expensive to plan a trip, and the possibility of it being too wild and dangerous for me. But over the past year, the stars aligned due to several differing factors and situations. After nearly an entire year of planning, I found myself exploring the Last Frontier with my father-in-law Ken.

A day trip from Anchorage led me to the Alaska Riverview Lodge in Kasilof, Alaska. After our brilliant trip to Seward and boat trip through the Kenai Fjorda National Park and Resurrection Bay, we drove across the peninsula to stay the night at the lodge. The drive over was about two hours from Seward and it was full of beautiful cliffs and forests, and the unfortunate remnants of the Swan Lake fire, which definitely had us feeling sorrowful for the loss of life.

Oregon Coast by © Brandon Elijah Scott.

It was day six of my expedition from San Francisco to Portland, which has me touring the famous and magical Redwood forests of Northern California, before I started north on the 101 along the dramatic coast of Oregon. Finally seeing the redwoods made the trip, but my goodness, Oregon has some of the coolest natural places I’ve seen, and I’ve toured over 25 countries and almost every state. The photo opportunities came quick and effortlessly, making my job easy as every scene was gorgeous and striking, and the light painted every leaf and crevasse with a magical brush.

Early in June I had the opportunity to explore one of the most magical places in the world, the California Redwoods. And yes, they are as cool as you might imagine. Better than that, actually. They are huge, sure, but the intact forests that haven’t been disturbed by humans, is absolutely stunning, and it has a feeling about it.

Restaurant Review - Mallorca in Cleveland, OH

Through decades of traveling and countless night stays, meals, and experiences, it’s difficult to recall every moment spent abroad. This is especially true for a travel writer like me, who has spent the past 15+ years traveling to 25+ countries. Every day in a new place consists of several meals, a new bed to lay my head down on, new people, cultures, and ways of life. And after awhile it can be difficult to remember every detail. But what’s left is a general feel for the place.
