Your adventure will begin with a flight into TedStevens International Airport in Anchorage Alaska, and from there a rental car is required. It is a 2.5 hour drive south to the town of Soldotna, so please do not book a hotel in Anchorage for the wedding night! Enjoy one of the most scenic drives in the country with astonishing light blue rivers, multiple awe-inspiring glaciers, volcanoes, and steep mountain features, you are sure to find yourself at the destination in no time. Leave extra time for photo ops! We recommend staying in Kenai or Soldotna, Kenai being a 20-30 minute drive from the venue. The hotel situation in Kenai / Soldotna is limited, but the Air-bnb options tend to be exceptionally unique with variable price points. We recommend everyone checking there first. Tent and RV camping options are available a couple miles away from the venue.

Travel Note

Things to See and Do on your Drive to the Venue.

Keep your eyes pealed on your scenic drive from Anchorage to Soldotna. You will start your journey along the Turnagain Arm with steep mountains to your left that are home to many Dall Sheep and the ocean to your right where you may see some Beluga whales. You will continue though Johnson Pass where you will lose cellular service until you reach Cooper Landing and be in awe of the blue lakes and rivers. The terrain will start to flatten and you will be surrounded by debris from the Swan Lake Fire which burned over 100,000 acres in 2019. As you drop down into the town of Soldotna you will be welcomed by the grand view of the 10,016 foot Mount Illiamna Volcano in the distance. The town of Soldotna will have everything you need from, lodging, gas stations, grocery stores, and restaurants. It is a good base camp for taking day trips to Seward or Homer which we highly recommend! Drive Safely and enjoy the journey.
