Alaska Bucket List with HBTT
Whether you're a seasoned traveler or a first-time visitor, here are some must-do activities to add to your Alaska bucket list. Check out our destination guide or B’s 6-day roadtrip itinerary.
Stay in Talkeetna
Talkeetna, Alaska, is a charming village at the base of Denali. Known for its rustic beauty and vibrant community, Talkeetna offers stunning views and many outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, and flightseeing tours. With colorful storefronts, local restaurants serve Alaskan cuisine with a laid-back atmosphere.
ATV Tour in Denali National Park
I’m not sure I need to elaborate on an ATV tour that takes you through the boreal forest of Alaska…we recommend Denali ATV Tours 3.5 hour tour.
Chena Hot Springs Resort
Chena Hot Springs Resort, 60 miles northeast of Fairbanks, Alaska, is a haven of relaxation and adventure. Its natural hot springs, historically cherished by indigenous Athabascan people, offer mineral-rich waters that visitors can enjoy year-round. From rejuvenating soaks to winter activities like dog sledding & Northern Lights viewing, Chena Hot Springs is definitely on the list.
Iditarod Week
If you’ve ever watched Eight Below starring Paul Walker (RIP) then you get why The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race is on the HBTT bucket list.
The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, often referred to as the "Last Great Race on Earth," is not just an event; it's a week-long experience to see the spirit of the Alaskan wilderness. Each year, mushers and their teams of sled dogs embark on a grueling journey across over 1,000 miles of rugged terrain, facing extreme weather conditions and pushing the limits of human and canine endurance. But the Iditarod is more than just a race—it's a celebration.
Stay in a Glass Igloo to Watch the Northern Lights
Picture yourself so comfortable and warm nestled in a transparent dome, looking up at the night sky as the aurora borealis paints green, red, purple colors across the darkness. That experience promises to leave a lifelong impression. Alaska has a few places to stay in glass igloos, including Borealis Basecamp in Fairbanks and Lyngen Lodge on the Lyngen Fjord.
Orca Island Cabins near Seward
What seems like the most wonderful way to experience Alaska's scenic beauty in a comfortable but natural and environmentally-sensitive manner.
A quote from the website “Our private waterfront accommodations are accessible only by boat. We’ll pick you up in Seward for a scenic, 1-hour boat ride to our private island and coastal resort, located in the peaceful and protected waters of Humpy Cove in Resurrection Bay, the gateway to Kenai Fjords National Park.”… we couldn’t imagine anything better.
