Creamer's Field - next to the actual field there are great hiking trails

our daily visitor

Creamer's Field - a former farm is now a landing and rest area for the journey of cranes and geese

there they fly ....

in the Ice Museum

on the Dalton Highway to the north - it is still asphalt with large holes

always north - about 1,000 km

Prudhoe Bay - Hotel Aurora - actually a dormitory for the workers with full board - can really be recommended

Luis has landed

it is really small compared to the vehicles used here

all the water for the hotel is delivered and stored here

Aurora Hotel - Men´s camp - Accommodation for many workers during their shift of about 2 weeks

we felt very comfortable and the price is reasonable

Although the oil is so close, diesel costs a lot of money, everything has to be delivered

our first caribou

the colors are simply indescribable

completely new to me, this area is a desert from a weather perspective, it hardly rains, the winters are dry and very cold

good beer and

enjoy your meal

works even in the smallest of spaces

the public campsites are very good, simple but everything you need is there

short but intense, the vegetation in the north

back was first necessary to wash

back at our campsite

the cranes are back too

in Fairbanks there is a really excellent car museum https://www.fountainheadmuseum.com/ (only vehicles up to the end of the 1930s), including a contemporary historical exhibition about the development of mobility and! about clothing of the time - just have a look

Northern Lights

simply indescribable

the mountain that gives the national park its name, Denali (also known as Mount McKinley)

Normally it is covered by clouds, only on about 60 days it is supposed to appear like this

a short hike

but unfortunately you are not alone here

By bike you can bypass all barriers and controls and get much further into the park than by car

but it is already cold

on the Denali Highway - the way from Denali National Park to Paxson, a wild road with indescribable panoramas but also a favorite area of hunters, so we had no desire for hiking

our elk meat menu

it tasted excellent

On the way we met Richard and Michelle and had many exciting conversations, we are looking forward to seeing you again

Visiting the Alpin Creek Lodge, here you will be pampered with food and alpine flair, an absolute recommendation

Unfortunately we didn't have much time, but coming back makes sense

the perfectly equipped Richard, always with the right tire pressure!

you can see once again how small our Luis is

after long journeys our home is ready for a nice evening

these blue potatoes are amazing, they taste really good

Musk Osk is actually a goat. The wool is very warm and is combed out of the animals. This is the only farm. The animals normally live up in the north.

Our campsite was right next to the tracks and repair work was carried out at night...

Very tasty restaurant in Anchorage, I had my first king crab - delicious!

An exciting museum in Anchorage, with very modern items dealing with the history and culture of Alaska.

Cabela's is a shopping chain that has everything for the outdoors - fishing, hunting, boats, hiking and everything else - it's just huge!

The former Russian culture and history can be found on all paths

adventurous roads to the end of the world, or rather to the end of the bay, here it is really lonely

and nature impresses and overwhelms again and again

and these evenings, but the Northern Lights remained hidden

Homer on the Kenai Peninsula - a dream place in Alaska, a holiday resort for many from Anchorage, especially the Spit (the headland in the bay) is very beautiful

Fishing is a must here, for those who can

The facility for processing is available everywhere, provided by the municipality

And here too, people have a taste for good cars; the lady from the tourist office came from California and she brought her yellow Corvette with her.
