What up! I'm Michael. This guide is exactly what I'd tell my friends, it skips the overpriced, overcrowded, and overrated tourist traps.

I've been an outdoor guide for almost 10 years. My passion is finding true Alaskan adventures and local experiences, not just spots that look "aesthetic" on social media. I moved here for genuine adventure, the outdoors, and escaping the crowds. This guide is built on those values.

Whether you're here for a week or a whole summer, I've got you covered on the best camping, dining, bar hopping, hiking, rafting, and exploring. Get my insider tips for national parks like Denali, Kenai Fjords, & Lake Clark and discover unreal places you've never even heard of before. If you're into real back country experiences, like backpacking or packrafting, I'll send you even more personalized recs.
