Shelby & Kevin

Things To Do

We have loved exploring Alaska together over the past two summers. Additionally, Shelby has lived in Alaska for essentially her entire life and has worked in the tourism industry there for almost as long. Shelby is a wealth of knowledge so please don't hesitate to reach out! If you are interested in traveling to towns outside of Anchorage, here is what is close-ish: Girdwood (45 minute drive), Whittier (1 hour drive), Seward (2.5 hour drive), Talkeetna (2 hour drive), and Denali (3 hour drive). Most of these places are connected to Anchorage by train or by car. If you are interested in traveling to any of these destinations and would like some advice, please reach out!

The best, handmade, locally sourced ice cream that you will ever have. They feature almost solely Alaskan-grown ingredients including Sitka Spruce tips and fireweed jelly. When you stop here, be sure to get the Baked Alaska which features your ice cream of choice in a waffle cone with toasted marshmallow on top! Heaven in a cone!
